Typical Kirkland split level home which had a small walled off kitchen. We blew out the walls, removed the drop ceiling with the proverbial florescent light, covered with plastic panels, added new Luxury Vinyl Tile floor, new cabinets, counter tops, back splash, lighting and paint. This opened up the space and created a great room affect Shoot-2-sell was our photographer and he was great.

The subtle changes begin as soon as you walk out the back door of the house. The existing decking had a lot of what we call "tweeners"; areas that are overly generous walkways, yet not large enough to house furniture. The awkwardly small bluestone patio was expanded to accommodate a generous seating area. This was done by pushing the step-down closer to the pool. Our talented stone mason carefully married the new bluestone into the existing portion of the patio, resulting in an imperceptible difference between the two. As you descend the new bluestone steps to the pool level, your bare feet will be thankful for the new smooth-finished, limestone-colored concrete, with a hand cut pattern carefully etched into it's surface. The old red brick decking was so hot that the owners could not walk around the pool with their bare feet. The brick coping was also replaced with an eased edge, Pennsylvania Premier Stone which matches the new step treads throughout the project. Between the house and the pool, a large raised planter was reconfigured, giving additional space to the pool deck for a shaded lounge chair area. Across the pool, a bank of rather tall painted brick retaining walls were cut down, shortened and moved. This lessened the visual impact of the walls (which were overwhelming in the space) and also opened up a new seating area, nestled under the arms of the massive Pecan tree at the back of the property. Rather than continuing solid decking around the entire pool, the area near these walls has been transformed to large stone stepper pads set in a sea of beautiful St. Augustine lawn. This creates a visually softened area that is still suited to setting tables and chairs when the guest list calls for additional seating. The spa area is possibly the most dramatic change on this project. Yet more raised planter walls divided this area into awkward spaces, unsuited for proper furniture placement. The planters were removed, new stone decks added, and once again expertly married into the existing decks, opening the area to house a large dining table and a newly built-in BBQ area. The spa itself was re-imagined with the bluestone coping and painted brick veneer. The most impressive addition though is the new handmade glazed tiles that surround the existing cast stone water feature. This water feature was almost unnoticeable against the painted brick wall, but now the dramatic arch and pop of color draw the eye to this quaint little corner of the property. Originally designed by one of the most notable landscape architects in town, this once impressive project had faltered in recent years. The pool and spa still functioned well, and the client wanted to keep it intact. In addition, they wanted to keep as much of the existing landscape as possible. But, the surrounding decks, walls and steps were fair game. At first glance, one might think that our changes were simple material changes. However, upon closer inspection, one can see the subtle-yet-transformative changes that came together to update this classic pool in a tasteful, timeless manner, as well as to improve the flow and usability of the deck areas, while softening the feel of this massive hardscape.

For this gorgeous building located in the heart of Bucktown, our client's wanted a space that was their own "slice of paradise" to relax and entertain guests. With multiple levels of outdoor space to work with, we used every square inch to fit all their needs and maximize the comfort of the space. A ground-level synthetic turf garden with plenty of room and privacy for the kids to play in with two additional decks for space for the family to relax, plant an herb garden, and maximize the entertainment space. Custom lighting was added throughout the multiple levels to create a safe and enjoyable evening retreat. We built custom stairs and hand railings that take you from each level of the outdoor space up to the main entertainment area on the roof deck of their home. This luxurious roof deck includes more turf space lined with bench seating for plenty of space to entertain, privacy screening on all sides of the roof-deck, a custom louvered aluminum shade pergola that protects from the outdoor elements, and included heaters, a fireplace, and a fan that maximizes the ability to use the space through multiple seasons. You can't forget the gorgeous granite waterfall countertop on the outdoor bar that heightens the luxury of the space for the family and their guests. Photography by Chiaro-scuro Photography

The backyard centers on the original 1890 brick garage — a rare surviving structure that anchors the space with over a century of patina. A mature Green Ash spreads its canopy overhead, with the Japanese Maple (upper right). The brick paver patio connects to the multi-level deck (right) that steps up to the kitchen and breakfast nook. A private urban sanctuary hidden behind a Lincoln Park street — exactly as it has been since 1923.
