About The Project

A previous home renovation project all but destroyed this spacious, tree-filled lot in Huntington Woods. The project's first phase began in the fall with a new front landscape and walk. The following spring, we returned to create an outdoor room—reflective of this busy family as the recent inside renovations were. With active children involved in sports, the area had to be expansive, with plenty of room for parties.

Challenges included significant grade changes, drainage problems, and creating a long-term plan to accommodate future buildings, a pool, and a hot tub. Project management was a critical factor in completing the new outdoor room. Coordinating plumbers, electricians, and other tradespeople was crucial to the timeline. But the results are worth it! The family now has a large entertaining area perfectly suited to their active lives.
