What a transformation, from poorly laid, uneven turf to a useable space for entertaining & relaxing. This backyard is now the ideal place to entertain, spend the chilly months by the firepit or beat the heat under an open-air pergola with views of tropical garden beds and a water feature.

We started with a step off the porch and onto a sloping backyard that was unusable and we transformed it into a larger, useable outdoor living space by adding a circular seat wall with built in LED low voltage lighting, a natural gas burning fire pit, 790 sq feet of Tremron pavers, custom build walls that were sunken to add a cozy atmosphere. We build a veranda style step down allowing access all across to the patio from the existing porch. we installed Low Voltage LED lighting to the steps to allow visibility at night. We graded the entire back yard to allow the kids a great spot to play football and soccer, while maintaining a proper drainage system for storm water runoff. We also fixed all of the disrupted sod areas with 8000 sq ft of Bermuda sod and built natural areas full of plant material for privacy and aesthetics.

Located on a heritage-lined street in Melbourne’s Williamstown, a young family were seeking a contemporary home with ample room to grow. Benni Trajcevski of Achieve Design Group answered their call, creating the epitome of modern living concealed behind a modest façade. To achieve the long wish list including large indoor and outdoor gathering spaces to entertain family and friends, separate adult and children living and sleeping zones, and a pool suitable for year-round use, Benni has maximised every inch of the block. Seamless transitional spaces link inside with out. This flow between the indoors and outdoors is a key feature of the home, achieved through generous open floor planning and glazing. For example, large hidden sliding doors allow the pool to be closed-off for use in winter; acrylic glass panels link the pool with the sunken lounge, which includes a fire pit for year-round comfort. The inclusion of a courtyard and voids throughout create separate useable zones while maintaining the feeling of spaciousness. Orientated to the north and surrounded with floor to ceiling windows to optimise natural light, the courtyard divides the formal lounge area with the informal living area, while the first floor is divided into four separate wings for privacy and functionality. The interiors are detailed with quality materials and finishes to achieve a sleek and sophisticated aesthetic. Contrasting materials in muted tones, including tiles, steel and lightweight timbers are featured throughout. Corian and a moss green wall are unexpected features.

Designed by Closet Factory Kentucky. This walnut wood walk-in closet is cohesive throughout the space, as the flooring, drawers, cabinets, and shelves have all been custom stained to blend seamlessly together. Just because this stained walnut walk-in looks stylish doesn’t mean it lacks functionality. Here we have triple-hanging sections made accessible by manual pull-down rods, ensuring that every inch of useable wall space is maximized to its full potential. Space-saving accessories like concealed hampers further this idea of combining form and function to help keep this beautiful closet organized.

The bump out on the sink base adds visual dimension to the vanity as well as more useable space both above on the fantasy brown tops and below in the cabinet.

Stone walls can offer a terraced solution, allowing for useable space above and/or below the wall on an otherwise sloping lot.

This home was in need of a indoor outdoor entertaining space that would compliment the residents desire for clean lines and crisp architectural elements. By adding a lounging area with fire pit, water feature, outdoor kitchen and dinning spaces all atop modern pavers we were able to greatly increase the useable space while providing the polished look the client longed for.

The Japanese Tea house was designed with versatility in mind. When needed a table electronically raises from the floor panels to allow for entertaining guests. When not in use the table can be lowered to floor level to provide more useable space.

This St. Paul home was large, but with the first floor split up into many small rooms the space felt cramped and closed off. The homeowner, who grew up in the house, envisioned a more useable and open floor plan. With that in mind, Tim Fuller of Tim Fuller Architects skillfully drew up the blueprints and Ben Quie & Sons went to work renovating the entire home. Now, the kitchen opens into the family room to create seamless flow throughout the first floor. Beamed ceilings and maple built-ins draw out the original charm of the home. The laundry room is now conveniently located on the main floor, and a back door leads out to a new patio and provides easy access to the park behind the home.

Vintage modern-style kitchen inspired by the home owner's collection of Bauer-ware dishes that were inherited from her grandmother. New honed quartz counter tops with a waterfall edge detail extend the useable space past the original footprint of the kitchen. The custom cabinets have lacquered face frames with overlay slab doors made of distressed laminate.
