This homeowner had a design challenge for our team. They were looking for something completely unique and special for their back yard. In a neighborhood with "nice" pools they didn't want something ordinary. Our designer/builder, Al Curtis, proposed something completely new. He proposed a swimming pool, built freeform, gunite, with a raised waterfall spilling, finished with the same quartzite coping as the pool, over into the pool, with a swim in grotto and a boat as a seating area at the deep end of the pool. His original idea had him taking an actual boat, reclaiming and reusing it to create this custom feature. The homeowners had other ideas once they heard his crazy cool idea, and asked if he could build it out of concrete. Of course, Al and our entire team was thrilled with the challenge, and hand crafted the boat you see entirely out of concrete, hand shaped, sculpted and molded the cement to form with such attention to detail that you can't tell from a distance that it is not a real boat hovering at the deep end of this pool! The boat was finished with a few reclaimed details from the actual boat it was modeled after...since details are just a part of the surprise and delight in a Legendary Escape, they add just the right elements to make this a very real experience. The homeowner also asked for a different type of coping next to the raised spillover gunite spa, to create the illusion of a swim up bar on the edge of the pool. The pool guy took this idea, raised the pool wall, added a custom poured concrete bar, and added a swim up ledge and in-pool bar stools with seats created out of concrete and stainless steel stands. The perfect custom features, finished with the thermoplastic of ecoFinish, the newest and best trend for a smoother more comfortable swimming surface for gunite pools, spas, sun ledges and seats that we use on our Michigan custom swimming pools, whether hybrid (vinyl liner/gunite combo) or all gunite swimming pools and spas. With the boat in place, it only made sense to create the outside of the grotto as if it were the boat house, for this one of a kind speedboat. The waterfall coming over the face of the grotto has two speeds, fast and warp speed...so jumping off, swimming through the waterfall, or heading down the slide from the dock/wharf patio area adjacent to the boat is a terrific way for kids and adults to enjoy this pool! Swim into the grotto and you are immersed in a 3-dimensional cave, with carvings of fish in vibrant color hand sculpted and painted by Karen, one of our on the job artisans who is instrumental in helping bring our sculptures and always surprising elements to life. Karen has an artistic whimsy, though she is also precise and accurate as she specializes in placing the coping just right and always making sure the tile is just right on every project. To complete this project landscaping, the homeowners looked to Jodi Cook, of Naturally Jodi to create a landscape that blended with the pool area to create a unique feel for the space. She used a variety of plants, ornamental trees, and even created pillars like you would see at a marina to complete the look. Once her landscaping was in, Al added a surprise element at the end of the dock - a lifesize alligator with a fishing rod catching a fish - as just one more detail to this project. Al, and his entire team aim to create a magical environment, where around every corner is just one more surprise that completes the awe and inspiring joy when visiting on of our Legendary Escapes! To say the homeowners are delighted just may be an understatement. Their kick off party included visits from superheros and Disney characters - enjoying all the elements of this backyard retreat in Rochester, Michigan.

Elite Landscaping removed an old vinyl liner pool from this home in a premier Omaha neighborhood. The goal was to install a new, concrete infinity-edge pool and spa with accessible pool deck. And we accomplished so much more! During the backyard remodel, the yard was elevated by 7.5 feet to improve access from the house to the pool deck with just three steps and a wheelchair-accessible ramp. More than 3,000 sq. feet of natural Travertine were installed for the pool deck, with stone veneer accents around the seating areas and firepit. An outdoor kitchen was installed, featuring polished granite countertops, a Fire Magic grill, Black Diamond appliances, and ample storage drawers. The pool structure boasts a 16-foot wide infinity edge, which is adorned with Black Galaxy iridescent glass tile. The pool wall is topped with fire/water bowls that cascade into the pool. A raised, double spa with 11-foot black granite ‘sheerfall’ edge also cascades into the pool. The custom concrete pool and raised spa each have their own variable speed pumps and heating systems for separate water flow and temperature control. Both can be fully automated through a smartphone or other smart device with the Pentair IntelliTouch system. An app allows homeowners to program LED lights, adjust temperature and water flow speeds, and test pool chemistry.

Two-tone custom cabinet fronts reinterpret the apartment’s existing layout with a clean, modern edge. Semi-custom bases and uppers in matte black and textured oak create a balanced contrast, while integrated pulls maintain a seamless, rhythmic flow. The wall integrates a Bosch speed oven and microwave, grounded by the original maple floors that lend warmth to the otherwise industrial palette.

A bit of tradition combined with some modern living trends helped to maximize this style and space after a luxury kitchen remodel by Renowned Renovation. In this 1940’s home, the existing kitchen was a small galley style centered on the bay window. Although quaint, it was not functional. The new kitchen expanded into the existing great room when we added a wall for the new pantry. That made room for a well-appointed island, with a farmhouse sink, dishwasher, trash pull, and custom drawers for utensils. Behind the island are a large counter depth refrigerator and 36” gas range surrounded by custom cabinets. Finishes are light and airy with classic lines and feature a Cambria quartz counter and backsplash, giving the kitchen a fresh modern feel. In keeping with the style of the home and today’s living, this kitchen holds the traditional style with all the modern comforts.

Vertical storage above the built-in wall oven gives cookie sheets, pans and boards their own accessible place. Organizing storage around how homeowners actually use the kitchen helps avoid wasted cabinet space.

This heated, in-ground salt-water swimming pool is made of custom concrete rock work so expertly crafted it looks like Mother Nature is the contractor. Complete with a variable speed waterfall, swim-in / swim-out grotto, built-in under water seating and colour changing LED lighting for evenings, it is a beautiful inviting place to relax or entertain.

This contemporary kitchen is clean and functional, filled with state of the art appliances and luxury materials. We chose a rich rift cut white oak cabinet door with custom glazing and a wirebrushed texture for the majority of the kitchen. To create more depth we used grey painted cabinets for the tall pantry area. For the upper wall cabinets next to the sink, glass and metal frame doors were selected. The glass is frosted on the fronts and painted grey on the back for a very soft yet sophisticated feel. The stainless steel Dacor Modernist refrigerator is quite a statement on its own, and it integrated more of the desired metal element. Caeserstone countertops in marble-look Calacatta Nuvo were used to brighten up the space. The smoked oak wood bar top is a bold statement as it cantilevers out from the island. A Freedom Gaggenau cooktop and downdraft keep the island clean and ready for entertaining.

This kitchen embodies a bright and timeless elegance, combining high-quality materials and thoughtful details for a harmonious aesthetic. Dura Supreme white painted cabinets provide a clean and refined foundation, paired with Richelieu cabinet hardware in brushed nickel for a subtle yet polished accent. The countertops feature White Valley Granite, bringing natural beauty and texture to the space. A marble tile backsplash in a brick pattern adds a classic touch, complementing the cabinetry and countertops seamlessly. Benjamin Moore paint colors—Bleeker Beige and Swiss Coffee—enhance the overall warmth and brightness of the design. Top-tier appliances include a Wolf gas range, Bosch panel-ready refrigerator, and Miele speed oven, ensuring both functionality and a streamlined appearance. The Rohl single bowl fireclay sink and Grohe faucet offer durability and sophistication, blending practicality with style. The design is completed by engineered hardwood flooring, which adds warmth and durability, tying together the space with an inviting and cohesive look.
