Mr. and Mrs. Edmondson wanted a poolside structure in which they could entertain guests. The structure had to provide some protection from the sun, and the architectural style should match their beautiful house. The challenge was to create a structure that would offer some degree of privacy from the neighboring houses, yet would still feel open to a very nice wooded yard. Our solution was to create a pergola with beautiful detailing including a back wall consisting of a handmade trellis and a widely spaced grid for a ceiling. After the landscaping is completed, the back wall of the pergola will host flowering vines to further blend the structure and the wooded yard.

Davis job

Miss Davis had an existing deck that was very large, yet it had little usable space. She wanted a new deck with some large spaces suitable for entertaining and dining. She also wanted some storage area below the new deck, since her homeowners' association forbid storage sheds. Our challenge was to create a deck that did not block her fantastic waterfront views, yet was safe for her small children. Our solution was to build the dining area of the deck as low as possible and use a clear acrylic picket for a nearly invisible rail system.

Jackson job

Mr. and Mrs. Jackson needed some way to get to the small island in their private lake. Since the island was several feet from the shore, handrails were required for safety. Our challenge was to create a bridge that did not intrude on the beautiful lake, but provided an accent to its graceful curves. Our solution was to build an arched bridge with a handrail that extended all the way to the ground. This eliminated the harsh lines of a typical handrail.

Judge job

The Judges love to be outside. The problem was, their community is all attached housing, which means their neighbors are practically right on top of them. Our challenge was to create a private deck that still feels like it is part of the outdoors. Our solution was to build privacy panels on each end of the deck that are small enough so that the view into the yard is still open. The panels are also designed so that airflow is not significantly restricted.

Anderson job

The shape of this deck was actually drawn by a landscape architect. This was a beautiful design that the Andersons were quite happy with. Our challenge was to bring the design to life, ensuring the structural aspect of the deck met our stringent guidelines without compromising the vision of the deck's designer.
