Our challenge was to create an iconic, Nantucket inspired, outdoor environment for the new CōV restaurant at Minnesota’s most upscale shopping mall and opposite the country’s oldest mall. Never mind that the site was painfully narrow and overlooked a parking lot rather than a scenic bay.
In March, we can’t help but be inspired by our favorite teams in the March Madness tournament. We love when a backyard before-and-after makes you do a double-take, so we’ve singled out this unbelievable transformation that delivers playtime to the next level.
These fun-loving clients had visited Hawaii often and dreamed of a buying a place there someday. For now, they wanted a luxury poolscape where they could entertain friends in Stillwater three-seasons long. With a nod to Las Vegas, their second favorite destination, the mantra was Go Big or Go Home! And it had to be different. The designer responded with a unique sunken pool house with a swim up bar and premium landscaping, complete with annual Palm Tree.
This project completely changed how we spent the summer. We are out there all day long. We eat almost all meals outside: Breakfast, lunch and dinner. We read out there. We will sit out late at night with the screens down and enjoy the 360-degree sounds of the night. What we’ve accomplished is an outdoor area that is every bit as outdoors as it ever was, but it is so much more comfortable. We find that family and friends just want to hang out in this space and my wife and I do as well. We live out there.
Our client needed to create an entry landscape that would leave a first impression of the cool, unique resort community that is Concierge. We knew that we needed to enhance the outdated look and feel of the entry, attracting the young professionals working in the area.
The couple loved their backyard pool but hated everything around it. They dreamed of a full-featured oasis where their teenage daughter would choose to hang with friends and they could comfortably relax and entertain while enjoying the gorgeous sunsets from high above the lake. The catch was that the new design had to incorporate the existing deck structure and bulbous concrete pool deck.
With the super bowl in our rear view mirror, now is the perfect time to develop your “Fan Cave” over the off-season. Unlike main level living spaces, a basement allows for further customization and personalization considering it is well stowed away from the unexpected houseguest.
This kitchen has all the modern amenities to create better function and easability for any busy family. Inspired by piece of reclaimed barnwood that we used as accents thoughout the home, including a barn-door over the kitchen sink pass-through that looks into the kids play area.
Often when homeowners are looking to expand their home, the first thought that comes to mind is an addition. Although an appropriate solution at times, we often overlook an easier and more cost effective solutions right before our eyes (or under our feet). Often home builders will leave basements unfinished, leaving large untapped potential in your home. Finishing your basement is a fantastic and cost effective way to expand livable space as well as add bedrooms/bathrooms. Below is a comprehensive breakdown the advantages of finishing your basement.
For years, the unfinished lookout basement was detached from the yard, save for a few ground-level windows. With the addition of a stunning backyard poolscape, the homeowners wanted to create a high-class entertainment space that would connect with the outdoor living environment and spare the main level powder room the parade of wet feet. It also needed to provide a more private alternative to the open floor plan above where dad could enjoy game day, and mom and daughter could tackle crafts project. Most of all, they wouldn’t accept an ordinary, boring basement.
