At the onset of this project, we found a roof deck garden in dire need of repair after a strong wind storm blew over an older pergola and screen system previously attached to limestone parapet caps. Our goal was to design and install a sturdier low maintenance screen system to protect against any future wind storms. We replaced limestone parapet caps, repaired the roof membrane and flashing, painted the walls and then replaced old stone tiles with sleek porcelain pavers. Our one of a kind hardwood screens add privacy from the windows of the adjacent high rise. Other details include a custom outdoor kitchen, lots of LED lighting to add warmth and illumination in the evening and a variety of gorgeous plants and ornamental trees, some reclaimed from the old garden. All plants are on an automated irrigation system.

A poolside deck that we designed to have an eating, lounge, and game area. Perfect for holiday barbecues, birthday parties, and the like - we wanted this young family to have a fun and relaxing space to retreat to during the hot Austin summer. These clients of ours underwent a major structural remodel of their backyard. They added a larger terrace upstairs with a huge grill/bar and then added a shaded lounge area to the downstairs. The space showcases an industrial style with plenty of light and fun elements, such as the pink chairs and patterned outdoor textiles.

“I am so pleased with all that you did in terms of design and execution.” // Dr. Charles Dinarello • Our client, Charles, envisioned a festive space for everyday use as well as larger parties, and through our design and attention to detail, we brought his vision to life and exceeded his expectations. The Campiello is a continuation and reincarnation of last summer’s party pavilion which abarnai constructed to cover and compliment the custom built IL-1beta table, a personalized birthday gift and centerpiece for the big celebration. The fresh new design includes; cedar timbers, Roman shades and retractable vertical shades, a patio extension, exquisite lighting, and custom trellises.

Extensive BBQ island wrapping around home kitchen eating nook. The island incorporates a smoker platform with independent storage, a 36" bbq with separate side burner, a bar sink and storage cabinet below, a built-in pull-out garbage drawer, a triple utensil drawer and an inlaid cutting board (out of view to the right of the bbq). At the near end of the island is a low level broad sitting bench with an integral planter from which a wisteria plant has begun it's ascent to the upper level trellis...a second low level planter separates the bbq section of the island from the smoker section. Countertops, wall caps, and the bench are all polished concrete.

Land2c Newly finished, cantilevered ipe deck with built-in seating will be furnished with bright pillows for comfortable entertaining, small coffee tables, and a firetable for chilly evenings. Pavers mesh smoothly with the decking for a generous outdoor 'floor'. Pavers and cantilevered deck are flush to give maximum options for furniture arranging. The two rectangular tables can be arranged as a large square or placed end to end for one long unit giving options for entertaining. Three strings of overhead lights provide a 'starry' ceiling for this area that easily holds 30 guests. Deck by Ryan Parshall, Cedarcraft Construction,

Sometimes you seek a beautiful space where you can commune with the outdoors but still feel at home. This Sammamish client has a gorgeous backyard that needed a new deck in order to take full advantage of summer. The space, while beautiful, also required a design that would maintain privacy from nearby neighbors. This deck, complete with a privacy screen was the perfect solution for their family. We love the look that the ipe wood provided!
