Total Serenity Achieved Here ! - Custom Outdoor Kitchen, Composite Deck, Penetrated Fireplace, Outdoor Heaters

If I tried to explain everything happening in this picture I would need to write a small book, but here are the highlights of the project that I feel make it very special:

We did a 54" Twin Eagles Grill, Ice Maker, Side Burner, and a 15" Delta Heat Sink on the counter tops. Tan Brown Granite counter, southwest blend pro-fit stacked stone, penetrated fireplace with a custom TV mount, Fireboulder, Waterboulder, composite deck, two Twin Eagles remote controlled heaters built right into the pitched pavilion style composite tongue and groove pergola.  You can use this 24/7, 365 days a year.  Enjoy the view!!!

Custom cedar shake shingled Hand dipped pergola with a nice smoker and keg cooler built into an island underneath!

A nice shaded area right in front of the pool walking out of the basement is all this space was missing!  We were able to match the colors of the house to the pergola prior to arrival giving this space quite a bit more functionality after the pool gets shut down!

We hand dipped the shingles with a Porter Paints exterior stain, we used a tongue and groove cedar interior (also stained) for some added warmth and protection, and finally we designed a custom kitchen complete with a 15" Delta Heat sink, Twin Eagles Doors/Drawers, Twin Eagles Keg Cooler, and a Saffire Smoker for dining!  I think this 18 x 18 pitched/pavilion style pergola will be used in this backyard all the time!!!!

Outdoor Room Remodel w/ a Kitchen Bump Out to Maximize Space...what a dramatic difference!!!

This client was primarily interested in taking what was once a nice outdoor room setup that was originally designed back in 2007 when the outdoor room concept was still in it's inception.  The outdoor kitchen concept was very very new to the industry and the idea of maximizes space was still in its infancy. You can clearly see that the builder spent most of his time inside and simply didn't take into account what could be a very functional area without changing to much of the square footage.

Below you can see what it once was to what it is now from drawings to inception.

Let's take a look:

More pictures to come later, but that's what we have so far.  As you can see quite a difference!

Fireplaces Fireplaces Fireplaces!!!!

Adding some level of fire feature, but more specifically a fireplace can add a level of privacy, elegance, and most importantly heat!!!! Here are a few examples of some fireplaces we did this season of all sorts of sizes and shapes.

Fireplaces can have wood boxes for storage, mantles for a TV or candles and additional lighting, as well as seat walls for additional seating.

Take a look!

Custom Outdoor Living Space w/ a beautiful stone column pergola, fireplace, and spa!

Here we did took a concept drawing from start to finish!  We were able to really set the stage from start to finish and WHAT a finish!  Outdoor living and outdoor rooms are a way to enhance your home and if done correctly your USABLE space!  By designing spaces literally to the inch and by planning correctly you can really maximize the way you want to enjoy home outdoors!

Take a look here!  Why would you want to go inside when you can sit under this???

Nice touches!!!!

Indiana Hoosier infuenced outdoor kitchen and fire pit!!!!!

What we did here was drastically improve what was once a cracked concrete overlay (which I personally never recommend), ripped out the concrete and replaced it with a solid 2 color stamped English York Pattern that will eventually accent the stone and granite we chose for the outdoor kitchen.  As you scroll down the post you will see the progression photos from start to finish.

Also note that the home owner had a hot tub on their deck that was going unused and we wanted to maximize their space without really increasing the amount of useable space so we added some "Fire" to their deck and finished the look with a beautiful 48" chat height fire pit!!!!
