Inspiration for a contemporary deck remodel in Atlanta

This residential project highlights the story of horse owners in South Florida who needed a custom 1,220-square-foot covered space for their animals. Their horses require special care and supervision, so they were looking for an alternative to a classic run-in shed that would provide their horses a space to relax and enjoy the outdoors, regardless of the weather, while staying covered when accessing the washroom located on the ground floor of the house.

The laundry room was expanded and reconfigured into a functional mudroom-style layout. This was achieved by incorporating approximately 400 square feet from the garage area, including a hallway and exterior storage space, into the interior footprint of the home. The newly created space now includes a dedicated mudroom, interior storage room, and direct access from the garage to a custom mudroom bench and drop zone. This transformation significantly improved the home’s everyday functionality, providing a practical and organized transition area for daily use.

Floor-to-ceiling open shelving provides easy access to fabric samples organized by color and material. A central island offers ample workspace for spreading out samples and planning schemes, while the built-in desks along the window wall give designers a dedicated spot to source, specify, and build out client presentations. Natural light and statement art add warmth and inspiration to the space.

Changing the location of the doorway into the dining room improved provided two improvements. It allowed for a complete change in the layout of the kitchen work space, and the view in both directions is better now. The formal dining room no longer has a view of the kitchen work area, and the breakfast room has a view of lovely shrubbery outside.

The dining room is in the kitchen area and has the back door access to the outside. Large windows next to the dining table allow in natural light, and provide a view to the outdoor living area and the back yard.

This is the backyard of the space for which the lower unit has exclusive use. The deck was added, as were the large PT 8x8s to terrace the yard, and provide easy accessibility to the upper portion of the side yard.

Once the structural integrity was ensured, the challenge remained of providing each upstairs bedroom with enough space for occupants to enter comfortably. The solution was repositioning and angling the door entrances, adding a harmonizing design element, and granting each room the necessary space for easy access.
