Game on! We were asked to have some fun and design a tree house for a family with young boys as a part of a charity fundraising project. The family has a huge love for hockey and every year they put in an ice rick for family games. The problem was they had nowhere to keep supplies and change clothing near the rink. In the winter when the games start, they now have a locker room with benches and lockers in the lower section of the tree house. The upper section provides the enlarged tree house "great room" along with a climbing rope, future climbing wall, and a zip line between this structure and an adjacent tree. The owner requested this to be stained wood in the character of the old Canadian hockey houses he grew up with as a child.

This end of the house consist of one large room housing game tables, seating, media center, TV along with a multi person bathroom and storage for hunting supplies. The men coming to hunt or river fun can change cloths, bathe, and hang out. There is a bunk house on the premises for sleeping. Photos by Claudia Shannon

The Family Room included a sofa, coffee table, and piano that the family wanted to keep. We wanted to ensure that this space worked with higher volumes of foot traffic, more frequent use, and of course… the occasional spills. We used an indoor/outdoor rug that is soft underfoot and brought in the beautiful coastal aquas and blues with it. A sturdy oak cabinet atop brass metal legs makes for an organized place to stash games, art supplies, and toys to keep the family room neat and tidy, while still allowing for a space to live. Even the remotes and video game controllers have their place. Behind the media stand is a feature wall, done by our contractor per our design, which turned out phenomenally! It features an exaggerated and unique diamond pattern. We love to design spaces that are just as functional, as they are beautiful.

This lower level was completed to extend the living and entertainment area for this sports loving family. And as Clemson alumni …orange, orange, orange was the order!

This cabinet is recessed into the wall space under the stairs. The cabinet appears to be a permanent fixed installation, however, it opens (swings outwards) to access hidden storage. Our client wanted to finish the basement of his home where he and his wife could enjoy the company of friends and family and spend time at a beautiful fully stocked bar and wine cellar, play billiards or card games, or watch a movie in the home theater. The cabinets, wine cellar racks, banquette, barnwood reclaimed columns, and home theater cabinetry were designed and built in our in-house custom cabinet shop. Our company also supplied and installed the home theater equipment.

Building a Dream Backyard When this homeowner started the design process of a new backyard, Braen Supply was immediately there to supply all the stone materials. The home was part of a new development, so the challenge was to make the home stand out while still addressing specific areas of the existing backyard, such as the steep grade. Working With the Experts Taking the steep grade into consideration, moss rock boulders were selected to create stairs down to the lower area of the backyard where the fire pit sits. The grade of the backyard also allowed for the infinity pool, full color bluestone pattern was selected as the veneer for the back wall of the infinity pool. Braen Supply chose Tennessee gray and bluestone to create a seamless transition from the front of the house to the back of the house. Although they are two different stones, they work nicely together to complete the overall design and tone of the home. It all came together and made the perfect backyard. Materials Used: Belgium Blocks Full Color Bluestone Pattern Bluestone Caps Tennessee Gray Irregular Moss Rock Boulders Full Color Bluestone Irregular Kearney Stone Steps Granite Mosaic Veneer Completed Areas: Front Walkway & Porch Driveway Edging Backyard Walkways Pool Patio & Coping Pool Water Features Fireplace Hearth & Mantal Wading Pool Raised Hot Tub
