Part 1 - Pavilion Pergola, Outdoor Kitchen, Twin Eagles Grill and Components, Family Leisure Outdoor Living





From design to final installation this project felt and delivered Christmas card quality results!

The home owner really had an eye for the placement of the Pavilion and the results truly convey what "sitting by the fire" can mean in an outdoor living space.

This was the last project of the year and we were pushed up against time, daylight, and of course Indiana snow, but we were able to get it all completed and what a finish it delivered.

Involved in this is was a two color decorative concrete stamp in which were able to match the concrete colors and stamp that they already had existing around the pool deck to the new concrete.  We were actually able to locate the contractor that originally poured the concrete for this house when it was built 12 years ago which was great as we were then able to get the exact colors to match - a very very rare thing but a great story nonetheless.

Now getting to the project.

What we did here was build a Western Red Cedar tongue and groove pavilion style cedar shake shingled, antique red brick, gas burning, 17' tall fireplace, with radial woodbox openings and a matching radial firebox opening to the fireplace.

We accented the pergola with painted white 8 x 8 rough cut cedar posts, copper caps, and decorative arches on the columns.

Some of these subtle nuances are often overlooked when you are outfitting a pergola, but collectively displayed can make something really "pop" in the outcome.

Here is a picture of the final pergola design

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!

Outdoor Room with some great features! Granite Bar and Grill with an added firepit as well as a beautiful trellis stained cedar pergola

For this quaint outdoor room we designed a space to truly maximize square footage while also allowing a level of privacy for the home owners.

Below you will find space as it sat on our first appointment to the concept to the finish.  We utilized tore out the existing brushed broom concrete and added an accenting exposed aggregate concrete with a brown stain to hide the dirt and make it look a bit more custom without taking away from the what was to come.

The grill/bar/fire pit allows for 8 people to sit at while the 16 x 16 trellis pergola created a level of intimacy while also providing a strong sense of shade without completely covering the space.

Take a look!
