The homeowners of this project wanted to extend their living room and create plenty of space to entertain their family. We extended their existing space by 12 feet and removed a center column that disrupted the view of lake. We added a wood burning fireplace and revamped their existing outdoor kitchen to give it a fresh look. The ceiling is a 1x6 tongue and groove with an English Porter stain with a clear coat to give it some shine. The flooring is a Versailles pattern travertine to give it a nice finish. We also added some uncovered space to spend some time out near the lake with new landscaping to complete that look. TK IMAGES

We renovated existing covered space of 225 sq ft and added on an additional 144 sq ft of covered space and 90 sq ft of uncovered kitchen space. Total sq ft of outdoor living space added is approximately 450 square feet. Flooring: Light walnut Travertine tile Brick Accent Wall: Arched openings with matching brick Stone: Stacked Veneered stone for kitchen Ceiling: English ported TG ceiling with 4x6 decorative cedar beams Kitchen: RCS propane grill Photo Credit: Click Photography

We know we would keep all the exposed pipes for the home's heating system. However, during demolition of the basement, we uncovered metal H-beams that we kept to reinforce an industrial look and feel of the space. We were able to divide this portion of the space into 3 separate zones - namely a home gym, bar height table for watching tv, as well as a fully reclining sectional!

The addition of a carriage house and terraces turned this backyard into a dream entertaining space. The carriage house features a one-car garage with additional storage, a bonus room with wet bar, and a covered seating area overlooking the patios. The once inaccessible backyard transformed into a dining terrace and firepit seating terrace that flow seamlessly from the main house all the way up to the carriage house. Versatility through multi-zone, covered and uncovered, indoor and outdoor space serves for entertainment all year long for this wonderful family.
