This St. Paul home was large, but with the first floor split up into many small rooms the space felt cramped and closed off. The homeowner, who grew up in the house, envisioned a more usable and open floor plan. With that in mind, Tim Fuller of Tim Fuller Architects skillfully drew up the blueprints and Ben Quie & Sons went to work renovating the entire home. Now, the kitchen opens into the family room to create seamless flow throughout the first floor. Beamed ceilings and maple built-ins draw out the original charm of the home. The laundry room is now conveniently located on the main floor, and a back door leads out to a new patio and provides easy access to the park behind the home.

Take a moment to appreciate these transformation images; with a little coaching and support, our dear client's garden has been metamorphosed into an edible paradise and children's haven to boot. The space is not only full of pollinator plants, fruit tree guilds, sprinklings of herbs and veggies, but also includes generous gathering and play areas throughout. As if that were not enough, this incredible client designed not only designed and built the cutest duck/chicken coop, but managed to also create a functioning babbling creek and waterfall that meanders through the length of the yard- a true haven for the kiddos, ducks, and chickens to all enjoy!

Found along the Emerald Coast of Northwest Florida, Seagrove Beach is a mile-and-a-half beach that encircles a small cove and lures visitors with its beauty and serenity. Watercolor was named for the thick grove of windswept trees that surround it.

Our clients wanted to create a backyard that would grow with their young family as well as with their extended family and friends. Entertaining was a huge priority! This family-focused backyard was designed to equally accommodate play and outdoor living/entertaining. The outdoor living spaces needed to accommodate a large number of people – adults and kids. Urban Oasis designed a deck off the back door so that the kitchen could be 36” height, with a bar along the outside edge at 42” for overflow seating. The interior space is approximate 600 sf and accommodates both a large dining table and a comfortable couch and chair set. The fire pit patio includes a seat wall for overflow seating around the fire feature (which doubles as a retaining wall) with ample room for chairs. The artificial turf lawn is spacious enough to accommodate a trampoline and other childhood favorites. Down the road, this area could be used for bocce or other lawn games. The concept is to leave all spaces large enough to be programmed in different ways as the family’s needs change. A steep slope presents itself to the yard and is a focal point. Planting a variety of colors and textures mixed among a few key existing trees changed this eyesore into a beautifully planted amenity for the property. Jimmy White Photography
