2020 Remodeled Home Tour

The Challenge

This home sits on a corner lot and had limited space to work with, making it difficult to get tools and equipment into the house. The homeowner had a number of design requests; the challenge was to fit them all in and make the space functional without it feel crowded. We also needed to find room for a water feature and firepit.

The Vision

The owners wanted a space that was comfortable, with room for entertaining groups of up to six people. They also wanted more privacy, a place to barbeque, add a water feature with a visual effect of fire, and new surfaces that incorporated granite and pavers. We also wanted to tie the interior design with the home’s slate stone veneer exterior.

The Solution

Add a multi-height divider wall between the property and the street while adding a water feature that included LED lighting and a waterfall behind a linear fire. The wall incorporated the slate stone from the front of the house for continuity. An Equinox pergola was built with electrically powered, watertight louvers that covered the new BBQ. Patio landscaping featured mega block pavers, cedar tongue and groove, and low-voltage, dusk-to-dawn lighting.

The Results

The patio is now a 4-seasons outdoor living space that is comfortable, relaxing, and private, with plenty of space for relaxing in peace or entertaining family and friends.
