The clients built this new home on Lake Minnetonka and hoped for a relaxing space for their family & friends. Loving the Minimalist & Zen style, they wanted to use timeless and quality materials in the space and have the design speak to group entertaining. It was important that the whole space felt open and connected yet very thoughtful with the design elements. Major hardcover restraints had to be followed on this lakeshore property, which lead to creative carpentry and wall placements to make spaces.

This Pebble Grey Trex Deck is an ideal retreat on this hillside Anchorage home. Detached from the home, this is the ultimate party deck. Feeney CableRailing is supported by cedar rail posts with a Trex top cap. The entire deck is wrapped in Trex fascia, hiding the treated framing. Built on a steep slope, the foundation is made of steel pilings, recycled from Alaska's north slope oil fields.

The house and swimming pool were designed to take full advantage of the magnificent and idyllic setting. A custom, Nutmeg Round retaining wall was built to raise and level the property and keep the swimming pool close to the home. A vanishing edge runs over 40ft along the full length of the pool and gives the illusion of dropping into the wetlands below. The pools is surrounded by an expansive, earth color Sahara Granite deck and equipped with an automatic cover. Phil Nelson Imaging
