Outdoor Oasis

Located among extensive gardens, this outdoor living space is a place where the home owners relax and enjoy the abundant natural surroundings in style and comfort. The clients wanted an open and expansive, yet warm and inviting space . . . a place to gather with friends and family as well as be an appropriate venue for a variety of intimate or large-scale formal and informal events.

From the grand gazebo, built entirely of cedar timbers, with it's magnificent fireplace constructed from hand shaped Fon Du Lac stone, to the luxurious outdoor kitchen and service area, this backyard oasis completes the vision of creating a spectacular outdoor living experience.

The homeowners of this backyard were looking to maximize their outdoor space and outdoor time to its fullest. Nestled amid an expansive backdrop of evergreens and prairie grasses, this space was to be the perfect setting for a midwestern backyard oasis.

Come rain or shine, a large gazebo is the perfect shelter to spend time outside among the extensive gardens and abundant natural surroundings. The idea was to create an open and expansive, yet warm and inviting outdoor living space.

The large foot print of the gazebo roof provides a generous shelter from the heat of the sun or a heavy rain. The gable end windows also keep the space and views open while providing light as well as protection from the elements. Photography by Paul Linnebach
Fireplace Chimney
The main focal point is the grand fireplace, built with hand shaped and dry stacked Fon Du Lac stone from quarries in Wisconsin. The tightly placed stonework on the fireplace was carefully shaped and fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle. Photography by Paul Linnebach
