Our clients wanted to update their old uncovered deck and create a comfortable outdoor living space. Before the renovation they were exposed to the weather and now they can use this space all year long.

Deck - rustic backyard deck idea with decking and a bbq area

The architecture of this greenhouse in Stamford, CT is profoundly contextual. We want it to fit right into the estate and even more so, we think its style should provoke an uncovering of the layered history of the location it sits on.

Patio - large transitional backyard concrete paver patio idea with a roof extension and a fire pit

Continuing through the natural wood accents fromt he home, a horizontal wood fence has been constructed around the home. Turf is surrounded by a variety of different plants and a large tree is the focal point of the backyard. A covered and uncovered patio section provide the perfect place to entertain.

This salt box style shore home was once dark and cluttered. When we started the project we uncovered beautiful old wood floors. The design team embellished the great lines of this once dated home. Lots of moldings and bead board were present and all everything needed was a new coat of paint and stain. textures, color and light bring this house alive once more.

My client loves fine art, brass, and mirrors. Here we created a little sparkle wall of collage to add interest, as the windows were left uncovered to take advantage of the killer views.

This backyard project was beautifully built to look original to the home. The brick and trim match perfectly, and the addition of the outdoor kitchen into this covered patio is seamless. The custom color of this flagstone style of stamped concrete is the perfect combination with the brick. The outdoor kitchen is complete with a grilling center, mini fridge, burners, and ample storage. This space can easily entertain as a TV was added to a gorgeous tongue and groove wall. With shaded space and uncovered patio extension, this backyard is ideal for day or night! Our clients can enjoy stargazing on the uncovered portion or watch the game with an early evening meal underneath the covered patio.

Looking at this home today, you would never know that the project began as a poorly maintained duplex. Luckily, the homeowners saw past the worn façade and engaged our team to uncover and update the Victorian gem that lay underneath. Taking special care to preserve the historical integrity of the 100-year-old floor plan, we returned the home back to its original glory as a grand, single family home. The project included many renovations, both small and large, including the addition of a a wraparound porch to bring the façade closer to the street, a gable with custom scrollwork to accent the new front door, and a more substantial balustrade. Windows were added to bring in more light and some interior walls were removed to open up the public spaces to accommodate the family’s lifestyle.
