A Patio For Entertaining & Escape
During the planning process with our client, we learned that they wanted a patio to entertain and us as a place to escape from the bustle of urban living. We wanted to help them transform their backyard into a place for family dinners and neighborhood gatherings, and a place they could just relax on the weekends.
Outdoor TV Space
The client also wanted an outdoor TV for catching a Cubs or Bears game on their new patio. With easy access to the grill, this space is made for watching the big game! The fireplace adds to the decor and during the cooler months in Chicago, it extends the time you can spend outside.
Outdoor Grill & Patio Dining
What would an outdoor patio space be without a grill and buffet for those summer cookouts? We helped our client get a grill and prep space that gave them plenty of space for cooking, but was small enough to be out of the way. Added prep space is a nice touch for cooking al fresco for friends and family.
Outdoor Patio Furniture
At night you would see the low voltage lighting that creates a warm and gently illuminated ambiance. Imagine a place where you could make yourself comfortable with a glass of wine during a fall night to enjoy the company of family and friends. We made the backyard easily accessible by installing a walkout metal deck and stairs with wood cladding and recessed lights. We chose a dark stain on the wood deck and stairs to give a rich detail to the exterior and further defined the backyard space with a layer of tall ornamental grasses.
