Millennium Construction
A family in the Chicago suburb of Homer Glen needed to replace an aging cedar deck that extended out from their home's second-floor kitchen and living room areas and that featured a stairway down into the backyard.
Seeking a new, more permanent structure, the family enlisted Millennium Construction's services. Using their desire to include brick columns as a starting point, we worked with them to select the right materials for the new deck — and to create a design that could bring their vision to life while improving the overall aesthetics and versatility of their outdoor space.
For the new deck's surface, we chose brownstone-colored AZEK® decking that complemented the home's siding. Unlike the wood deck it replaced, AZEK decking doesn't require staining every few years, and it doesn't absorb water or buckle as traditional composite woods can. Instead, its PVC boarding is nonabsorbent and stain- and scratch-resistant to provide a lifetime of virtually maintenance-free use with only infrequent washing.
Extending out from the second-floor deck, we built a stairway leading down to the backyard. At the bottom of the stairs, we opted for an open platform area instead of a simple stoop for a more open, inviting feel. This also created an additional outdoor leisure space at the ground level.
The brick columns built to support the deck were topped with iron post lamps to provide a classic look and a pleasing light source for evening recreation. To match the lamps, we installed a textured Fortress Iron Railing between the columns. Galvanized and coated for many years of maintenance-free use, the Fortress product supplies the traditional elegance of wrought iron, while also blocking outdoor views less than thicker railing materials like composite wood can.
We waterproofed the bottom of the deck using a Trex®RainEscape® deck drainage system. By providing complete protection of the area below the deck from rain, sun and other elements, the RainEscape system makes it possible to install ceiling fans, TVs, speakers and more in the outdoor living space below a deck without worry. We finished the deck bottom in wood paneling and then painted it. We hid the drainage pipe for the RainEscape system in the crown molding, which we ran to a gutter emptying out into the yard below the deck stairway.
In the shaded area underneath the deck, we installed two ceiling fans for a cooling effect. We also put in recessed ceiling lights and connections for a flat screen and speakers so the family could watch television and listen to music anytime in a relaxed outdoor setting. After brick pavers laid the patio floor, we screened the area in, placing French doors at each end of the screen room. At six feet wide, the doors retain easy access into the house for furniture and other large items.
While the family opted not to install windows in the screen room, the framing system we used also gives them the flexibility to enclose the space fully from the elements with four-track windows should they wish to do so in the future.
With the new deck and screen room, the family now enjoys a more attractive upstairs area off the living room and kitchen areas where they can grill, entertain and bask in the sun on pleasant days. The screened-in area below gives them the ability to remain outdoors when it's hot or rainy, or when they want to watch their favorite shows. The end result is a house with a more refined look — and a family with a variety of new ways to enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of home.

The upper level of this gorgeous Trex deck is the central entertaining and dining space and includes a beautiful concrete fire table and a custom cedar bench that floats over the deck. Light brown custom cedar screen walls provide privacy along the landscaped terrace and compliment the warm hues of the decking. Clean, modern light fixtures are also present in the deck steps, along the deck perimeter, and throughout the landscape making the space well-defined in the evening as well as the daytime.

Designed as a prominent display of Architecture, Elk Ridge Lodge stands firmly upon a ridge high atop the Spanish Peaks Club in Big Sky, Montana. Designed around a number of principles; sense of presence, quality of detail, and durability, the monumental home serves as a Montana Legacy home for the family.
Throughout the design process, the height of the home to its relationship on the ridge it sits, was recognized the as one of the design challenges. Techniques such as terracing roof lines, stretching horizontal stone patios out and strategically placed landscaping; all were used to help tuck the mass into its setting. Earthy colored and rustic exterior materials were chosen to offer a western lodge like architectural aesthetic. Dry stack parkitecture stone bases that gradually decrease in scale as they rise up portray a firm foundation for the home to sit on. Historic wood planking with sanded chink joints, horizontal siding with exposed vertical studs on the exterior, and metal accents comprise the remainder of the structures skin. Wood timbers, outriggers and cedar logs work together to create diversity and focal points throughout the exterior elevations. Windows and doors were discussed in depth about type, species and texture and ultimately all wood, wire brushed cedar windows were the final selection to enhance the "elegant ranch" feel. A number of exterior decks and patios increase the connectivity of the interior to the exterior and take full advantage of the views that virtually surround this home.
Upon entering the home you are encased by massive stone piers and angled cedar columns on either side that support an overhead rail bridge spanning the width of the great room, all framing the spectacular view to the Spanish Peaks Mountain Range in the distance. The layout of the home is an open concept with the Kitchen, Great Room, Den, and key circulation paths, as well as certain elements of the upper level open to the spaces below. The kitchen was designed to serve as an extension of the great room, constantly connecting users of both spaces, while the Dining room is still adjacent, it was preferred as a more dedicated space for more formal family meals.
There are numerous detailed elements throughout the interior of the home such as the "rail" bridge ornamented with heavy peened black steel, wire brushed wood to match the windows and doors, and cannon ball newel post caps. Crossing the bridge offers a unique perspective of the Great Room with the massive cedar log columns, the truss work overhead bound by steel straps, and the large windows facing towards the Spanish Peaks. As you experience the spaces you will recognize massive timbers crowning the ceilings with wood planking or plaster between, Roman groin vaults, massive stones and fireboxes creating distinct center pieces for certain rooms, and clerestory windows that aid with natural lighting and create exciting movement throughout the space with light and shadow.

The Port Ludlow Residence is a compact, 2400 SF modern house located on a wooded waterfront property at the north end of the Hood Canal, a long, fjord-like arm of western Puget Sound. The house creates a simple glazed living space that opens up to become a front porch to the beautiful Hood Canal.
The east-facing house is sited along a high bank, with a wonderful view of the water. The main living volume is completely glazed, with 12-ft. high glass walls facing the view and large, 8-ft.x8-ft. sliding glass doors that open to a slightly raised wood deck, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor space. During the warm summer months, the living area feels like a large, open porch. Anchoring the north end of the living space is a two-story building volume containing several bedrooms and separate his/her office spaces.
The interior finishes are simple and elegant, with IPE wood flooring, zebrawood cabinet doors with mahogany end panels, quartz and limestone countertops, and Douglas Fir trim and doors. Exterior materials are completely maintenance-free: metal siding and aluminum windows and doors. The metal siding has an alternating pattern using two different siding profiles.
The house has a number of sustainable or “green” building features, including 2x8 construction (40% greater insulation value); generous glass areas to provide natural lighting and ventilation; large overhangs for sun and rain protection; metal siding (recycled steel) for maximum durability, and a heat pump mechanical system for maximum energy efficiency. Sustainable interior finish materials include wood cabinets, linoleum floors, low-VOC paints, and natural wool carpet.

The homeowners desired an outdoor space that felt more rustic than their refined interior spaces, but still related architecturally to their house. Cement plaster support arbor columns provide enough of visual tie to the existing house exterior. Oversized wood beams and rafter members provide a unique outdoor atmosphere. Structural bolts and hardware were minimized for a cleaner appearance. Structural connections and supports were engineered to meet California's stringent earthquake standards.

This one-room sunroom addition is connected to both an existing wood deck, as well as the dining room inside. As part of the project, the homeowners replaced the deck flooring material with composite decking, which gave us the opportunity to run that material into the addition as well, giving the room a seamless indoor / outdoor transition. We also designed the space to be surrounded with windows on three sides, as well as glass doors and skylights, flooding the interior with natural light and giving the homeowners the visual connection to the outside which they so desired. The addition, 12'-0" wide x 21'-6" long, has enabled the family to enjoy the outdoors both in the early spring, as well as into the fall, and has become a wonderful gathering space for the family and their guests.
