Rear patio that was constructed for a future spa. Before and after pics. Sorry for the low quality of pictures in this one. We had to originally lower the land by 1 foot in order to get to ground level and later excavate another 1 foot for the actual patio. A PVC pipe was also ran under in order for wiring to be passed for the future SPA. We also had to install this over an existing conrete path and join the path located at the side of the house :)

Acting as a bridge or a landing, this outdoor entertainment space connects the home and the lower part of the back yard. The existing orange brick motivated the choice of color which blends the two spaces with an old and new quality of materials.

This is our lovely show room with our available frames displayed on the walls.

This complete basement transformation created a highly functional living space tailored to the homeowners' lifestyle. The design includes a comfortable family room, custom wet bar, ample storage, and flexible gathering areas that support both everyday living and entertaining. Light finishes, quality craftsmanship, and thoughtful space planning help the lower level feel connected to the rest of the home while maximizing comfort, storage, and usability.

The custom builder went to great lengths to accent differentiate this home with quality finishings and attention to detail. We carefully selected each item in our design plan to highlight and showcase these features, so prospective buyers would be drawn to and impressed by the home.
