This basketball court was installed in Syosset Long Island NY by Gappsi. Starting with the location to best fit the 30 x 60 court and the swimming pool area within the already landscaped yard. The construction of the base for the court consists of 6 inches of recycled concrete base and 2 inches of compacted asphalt. It was then sealed, with a 6 x 9 masonry border around the edges. A full size adjustable hoop was also installed. Mateflex tiles modular outdoor flooring tiles were installed over the asphalt, stretched, and then secured all around the perimeter to create an expandable and contracting court floor. A combination of blue and gray colors are selected for the tiles with white striping to outline the Basketball and the pickle ball court., a complete key, a 3-point line, and a capital "S" is printed in the center of the court that stands for the owner's last name. Volleyball/pickle ball lines are also marked on the tile and the adjustable net was installed in the middle of the court. The court was installed in a section of the backyard that was not utilized by the homeowner for any other use. The basketball court fit perfectly and turned this area into a very active sports area for the whole family to enjoy. The Mateflex tiles are the best in the industry. They are manufactured in 12 x 12 inch tiles that are then divided into 16 individual 3 x 3 sections attached to each other with an expansion joint system allowing the court to flex and prevent the tiles from warping in hot and cold weather situation. Gappsi provides basketball and many other types of sports court installations such as bocce courts, putting greens, shuffle boards, and many others for residential and commercial use in Syosset, NY 11773 and 11791 zip code areas.

Karen was an existing client of ours who was tired of the crowded and cluttered laundry/mudroom that did not work well for her young family. The washer and dryer were right in the line of traffic when you stepped in her back entry from the garage and there was a lack of a bench for changing shoes/boots. Planning began… then along came a twist! A new puppy that will grow to become a fair sized dog would become part of the family. Could the design accommodate dog grooming and a daytime “kennel” for when the family is away? Having two young boys, Karen wanted to have custom features that would make housekeeping easier so custom drawer drying racks and ironing board were included in the design. All slab-style cabinet and drawer fronts are sturdy and easy to clean and the family’s coats and necessities are hidden from view while close at hand. The selected quartz countertops, slate flooring and honed marble wall tiles will provide a long life for this hard working space. The enameled cast iron sink which fits puppy to full-sized dog (given a boost) was outfitted with a faucet conducive to dog washing, as well as, general clean up. And the piece de resistance is the glass, Dutch pocket door which makes the family dog feel safe yet secure with a view into the rest of the house. Karen and her family enjoy the organized, tidy space and how it works for them.

This was a custom kitchen remodeling project where we refaced the kitchen cabinets and butler’s pantry in Cherry with Walzcraft 5 piece mortise and tenon raised panel doors with 5 piece mortise and tenon raised panel drawer fronts. We used Maple with MDF center panels on the door and drawers. The stain used was Heritage Color Wiping Stain, Solvent Wiped Dark Brown Glaze with Heavy Intensity, Satin Finish Topcoat. For the island, the stain used was Linen Solid Tone Finish with Dry Wiped Light Brown Glaze with Heavy Glaze Intensity, Satin Finish Topcoat. We modified the base cabinets in Butler’s Pantry to allow installation of a wine cooler. We then replaced the drawer boxes and guides, adding full extension drawer guides. We also provided new door and drawer pulls. Some additional work that we did to the kitchen was added fluted pilasters and wainscot paneling on the island. We also added raised panel ends on wall and base cabinets. The existing appliances remained in place, at wall oven cabinet refacing materials were installed by loosening wall ovens and applying refacing, then re-securing ovens. Microwave and dishwasher remained in place.

From Backyard to Breathtaking Oasis: Crafting Your Dream Deck Imagine stepping out your back door and entering a paradise – a place where summer evenings melt into laughter and relaxation. This is exactly what we achieved for a homeowner recently with the construction of a sprawling new deck. Our team of experts transformed a simple backyard into a stunning outdoor living area, perfect for soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the company of loved ones. Setting the Stage: A Foundation for Fun The journey began with a sturdy and secure base. We constructed the deck using high-quality materials, ensuring it could withstand years of gatherings and barbecues. The size of the deck was carefully planned to accommodate the homeowner's vision of a large outdoor oasis. Light Up the Night: Extending the Fun After Dark Long summer days are a gift, but the magic shouldn't end when the sun sets. To extend the enjoyment well into the night, we installed lighting around the entire perimeter of the deck. This thoughtful addition allows for safe navigation after dark while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Recessed lighting perfectly complemented the overall aesthetic. A Place for Everything: Built-in Storage for Effortless Maintenance A beautiful deck deserves to stay clutter-free. That's why we incorporated a large storage area underneath the deck itself. This clever solution provides a designated space for patio furniture cushions, pool toys, gardening tools, or anything else that needs to be tucked away but kept readily accessible. Seamless Transitions: The Perfect Patio Door The key to a truly integrated indoor-outdoor living experience lies in effortless access. To achieve this, we installed a modern sliding patio door. This creates a smooth transition from the house to the deck, allowing for easy flow of traffic and conversation. Whether it's carrying plates of grilled food or simply stepping out to enjoy the fresh air, the sliding door ensures a seamless connection. Grand Entrances: A Double Dose of Elegance For added convenience and a touch of grandeur, we constructed two beautiful staircases leading up to the deck. This not only provides easy access from different points in the yard but also adds a touch of architectural interest. The design of the staircases were tailored to the overall style of the house and deck. The final product? A breathtaking outdoor living area that extends the homeowner's living space and creates a haven for relaxation and entertainment. This project is a perfect example of our ability to transform a backyard into a functional and beautiful extension of the home, allowing our clients to create lasting memories under the summer sun.

A two-level pergola, circular firepit area and outdoor kitchen with a charcoal-gas combo grill star in this Houston patio addition designed for entertaining large crowds in style. "The client was an attorney with a passion for cooking and entertaining," says the project's principal designer, Lisha Maxey of LGH Designs. "Her main objective with this space was to create a large area for 10 to 20 guests, including seating and the prep and cooking of meals." Located in the backyard of the client's home in Spring, TX, this beautiful outdoor living and entertaining space includes a 28-by-12-foot patio with Fantastico silver travertine tile flooring, arranged in a Versailles pattern. The walkway is Oklahoma wister flagstone. Providing filtered shade for the patio is a two-level pergola of treated pine stained honey gold. The larger, higher tier is about 18 by 10 feet; the smaller, lower tier is about 10 feet square. "We covered the entire pergola with Lexan - a high-quality, clear acrylic sheet that provides protection from the sun, heat and rain," says Outdoor Homescapes of Houston owner Wayne Franks. Beneath the lower tier of the pergola sits an L-shaped, 12-by-9-foot outdoor kitchen island faced with Carmel Country ledgestone. The island houses a Fire Magic® combination charcoal-gas grill and lowered power burner, a Pacific Living countertop pizza oven and a stainless steel RCS trash drawer and sink. The countertops and raised bar are Fantastico silver travertine (18-square-inch tiles) and the backsplash is real quartz. "The most unique design item of this kitchen area is the hexagon/circular table we added to the end of the long bar," says Lisha. This enabled the client to add seating for her dining guests." Under the higher, larger tier of the pergola is a seating area, made up of a coffee table and espresso-colored rattan sofa and club chairs with spring-green-and-white cushions. "Lighting also plays an important role in this space, since the client often entertains in the evening," says Wayne. Enter the chandelier over the patio seating arrangement and - over the outdoor kitchen - pendant lamps and an industrial-modern ceiling fan with a light fixture in the center. "It's important to layer your lighting for ambiance, security and safety - from an all-over ambient light that fills the space to under-the-counter task lighting for food prep and cooking to path and retaining wall lighting." Off the patio is a transition area of crushed granite and floating flagstone pavers, leading to a circular firepit area of stamped concrete. At the center of this circle is the standalone firepit, framed at the back by a curved stone bench. The walls of the bench and column bases for the pergola, by the way, are the same ledgestone as the kitchen island. The top slab on the bench is a hearth piece of manmade stone. "I think the finish materials blend with the home really well," says Wayne. "We met her objectives of being able to entertain with 10 to 12 to 20 people at one time and being able to cook with charcoal and gas separately in one unit. And of course, the project was on time, on budget." "It is truly a paradise," says the client in her Houzz review of the project. "They listened to my vision and incorporated their expertise to create an outdoor living space just perfect for me and my family!"

Private Residence / Santa Rosa Beach, Florida Architect: Savoie Architects Builder: Davis Dunn Construction The owners of this lovely, wooded five-parcel site on Choctawhatchee Bay wanted to build a comfortable and inviting home that blended in with the natural surroundings. They also wanted the opportunity to bring the outside indoors by allowing ample natural lighting through windows and expansive folding door systems that they could open up when the seasons permitted. The windows on the home are custom made and impact-rated by our partners at Loewen in Steinbach, Canada. The natural wood exterior doors and transoms are E. F. San Juan Invincia® impact-rated products. Edward San Juan had worked with the home’s interior designer, Erika Powell of Urban Grace Interiors, showing her samples of poplar bark siding prior to the inception of this project. This product was historically used in Appalachia for the exterior siding of cabins; Powell loved the product and vowed to find a use for it on a future project. This beautiful private residence provided just the opportunity to combine this unique material with other natural wood and stone elements. The interior wood beams and other wood components were sourced by the homeowners and made a perfect match to create an unobtrusive home in a lovely natural setting. Challenges: E. F. San Juan’s main challenges on this residential project involved the large folding door systems, which opened up interior living spaces to those outdoors. The sheer size of these door systems made it necessary that all teams work together to get precise measurements and details, ensuring a seamless transition between the areas. It was also essential to make sure these massive door systems would blend well with the home’s other components, with the reflection of nature and a rustic look in mind. All elements were also impact-rated to ensure safety and security in any coastal storms. Solution: We worked closely with the teams from Savoie, Davis Dunn, and Urban Grace to source the impact-rated folding doors from Euro-Wall Systems and create the perfect transition between nature and interior for this rustic residence on the bay. The customized expansive folding doors open the great room up to the deck with outdoor living space, while the counter-height folding window opens the kitchen up to bar seating and a grilling area. --- Photos by Brittany Godbee Photographer

A luxurious freestanding bathtub and Euro-style shower in the master bathroom encourage you to relax and recharge in your own spa-like retreat. Energy efficient HVAC and water systems, appliances and windows minimize your footprint. Durable flooring offers stability and longevity, and hand trowel-finished drywall with reclaimed wood accents provide a warm background for your life. The open floor plan lends itself to entertaining, and the views of the Front Range through the pines are enticing. These same spaces also feel private and individual. Whether training in the home gym for your next marathon, building your dream canoe in the garage, or relaxing while you listen to the crackle of a fire in your fireplace accented by those hand-hewn beams, Thurston House is a stunning place to call home.
