The Throughstone Group was a collection of collaborators, designers, and thinkers, all working on landscape design together.

The highest-profile project we collaborated on together was this project in Durango, CO, where Northwest Outdoor Lighting was able to highlight the hand-crafted stonework and unique design sensibility of the other designers.
