firepit with seat wall with destination points throughout. Covered structure includes fully customized outdoor kitchen with BBQ, Traeger, outdoor sink, Granite countertops, etc. Natrual stone patio done in blue stone. Seat walls to add structure to the space. Boarder planting to maximize privacy. Pond and water feature was added in the corner to draw your eye and ears to the peaceful space.

Originally a concrete pad for parking a car, the floor has been transformed into a "work of art"... an original design, hand painted, and finished with a clear-coat, industrial epoxy finish. This space serves multiple purposes - an inviting entry, it also serves the owner with an area for exercise, yoga, and meditation, as well as storage space.

Drawing on utility farm buildings, the design of this house is direct in it’s form and organization. Located in a dense St. Paul neighborhood on a narrow 39’ wide lot, the house draws equally from it’s turn of the century neighbors for scale and materiality. The 20’ wide shotgun structure allowed the house to be pushed to the east, opening up the west wall for large windows and the opportunity for an outdoor room. This changed what is normally “nowhere” space between houses into an active extension of the home used to BBQ, play catch, and afford pleasant transition from front to back. Life plays out in the home within three space, the living/dining, the kitchen/breakfast, and the porch/outdoor room. All three are used daily either actively or borrowed. Each is clearly defined and connected to the others through the careful placement or absence of walls or corners, and made more expansive by increased height, defined sightlines, and exposed structure Architect: Ben Awes AIA

The String Light F6481030 LED Cone Pendant from FLOS features a black die-cast aluminum body with a clear soft-touch varnish finish and an opal polycarbonate diffuser. The String Light Cone Pendant was inspired by the designer traveling on trains and seeing the electrical wires that connect the pylons. As the train moves at high speed the parallel electrical strings begin to stand out and form these disciplined lines that not only connect the pylons but also divide the landscape. Anastassiades translated this vision into lights that are like linear drawings where you can demarcate and divide your space however you want. In addition to creating beautiful lines, the lengthy cords serve a more practical purpose of being able to reach electrical points and leave plenty of room for you to move the light where you want it to be.
