Outdoor kitchen deck - huge transitional backyard outdoor kitchen deck idea in Salt Lake City with a roof extension

Penza Bailey Architects was contacted to update the main house to suit the next generation of owners, and also expand and renovate the guest apartment. The renovations included a new mudroom and playroom to accommodate the couple and their three very active boys, creating workstations for the boys’ various activities, and renovating several bathrooms. The awkwardly tall vaulted ceilings in the existing great room and dining room were scaled down with lowered tray ceilings, and a new fireplace focal point wall was incorporated in the great room. In addition to the renovations to the focal point of the home, the Owner’s pride and joy includes the new billiard room, transformed from an underutilized living room. The main feature is a full wall of custom cabinetry that hides an electronically secure liquor display that rises out of the cabinet at the push of an iPhone button. In an unexpected request, a new grilling area was designed to accommodate the owner’s gas grill, charcoal grill and smoker for more cooking and entertaining options. This home is definitely ready to accommodate a new generation of hosting social gatherings. Mitch Allen Photography

The dark wood tones in this space compliment the older nature of the home along with the brass hardware. The black faucet and mixed metal combination are a touch of modern in the space.

Kitchen - craftsman kitchen idea

We kept the furniture low profile in the living and dining room so the spaces feel unified and modern. We introduced a dramatic gallery wall that acts as an art installation in our home.

A family room receives a Farmhouse Chic make over with the use of reclaimed barn wood, a soothing neutral palette of grey and beige, warm woods, and stone. Nailheads and mixed metals give it a contemporary lift. Erica Peale

Rain water spills over a ledge and into a rock trough, ultimately filling a geometric bog planted with native aquatics. In dry seasons, an automatic fill is activated and creates a similar effect. During intense rains, the bog overflows into a curvilinear rock rill, and ultimately to the ravine below. Photo Credit :Ralph Anderson
