An outdoor retreat designed to feel like a natural extension of the home. Layered patios and terraces create distinct areas for gathering, dining, and unwinding, connected by clean sightlines and thoughtful transitions.

Textured stone, warm wood detailing, and soft lighting add depth and atmosphere, allowing the space to shift seamlessly from daytime lounging to evening entertaining. A backyard designed for connection, comfort, and everyday enjoyment.

Designed for gathering, this backyard extends the home’s architecture into the landscape with intention and ease. Distinct zones for dining, lounging, and relaxing create a natural flow—allowing multiple moments of hosting to happen at once while still feeling connected.

The covered porch with its brick fireplace anchors the outdoor living area, offering warmth and shelter, while the open patio encourages casual meals and long conversations. Together, these spaces form a backyard that supports both lively entertaining and quiet retreat, grounded in thoughtful planning and timeless design.

Architecture comes to life in the moments it creates. A welcoming front porch, brick steps worn just enough to feel familiar, and a warm wood entry framed by traditional detailing set the stage for everyday connection. Lantern-style lighting and layered landscaping soften the façade, reinforcing a sense of approachability and ease.

Designed with classic elements that encourage lingering—this is a home meant to be lived in, shared, and enjoyed, where thoughtful architecture supports the rhythm of daily life.

Rooted in classic architectural forms, this home pairs timeless proportions with a fresh, welcoming presence. Crisp white siding, warm wood tones at the entry, and a shingled roofline work together to create depth and visual warmth, while the symmetrical façade and traditional window detailing ground the design in familiarity.

Thoughtful textures—from the brick walkway leading to the front porch to the layered roof forms and tailored trim—add character without feeling heavy. The result is a home that blends cozy charm with a renewed sense of lightness and clarity, honoring traditional architecture while feeling distinctly current.

We share a lot of exterior shots - but the architecture plays a huge role in shaping your interior and setting the tone for how a home feels.

This entryway makes a bold first impression: a dramatic double-height space where crisp lines, black steel details, and a perfectly-placed window grid establish a modern edge. A soft brick wall tempers the intensity, bringing warmth and texture to an otherwise minimal palette. It's equal parts bold and welcoming -- a space that feels as elevated as it is livable.

Summer has officially arrived -- and this backyard is ready to soak it all in ☀️☀️

One detail we especially love? The gas lantern in the porch. It adds such timeless charm - and yes, if you're dreaming of one, we'll plan to run a gas line to the sconce from the start to make it happen.

Because when the evenings stretch long and the poolside glow kicks in... it's hard to beat that atmosphere.

When the owners first purchased this home, it came with a dilapidated barn in its backyard. That barn is long gone, and in its place stands this two-story additional entertainment space. Although we are calling it an entertainment space, this building has held so many purposes for this family over the years.

On the first floor, there is a bar, restroom, and seating/dining area with Nana Walls to open the space out to the pool, acting as a cabana. Upstairs, it’s a little cozier and more private - perfect to curl up and read a book or watch a movie.

Check out the highlight reel “Franklin House” to see the transformation of the barn.

This backyard oasis is a dream, but it didn’t happen overnight. This home has undergone a few transitions with us over the past two decades the clients have lived there.

Sometimes renovating everything at once isn’t in the cards. We are happy to work in phases to create the perfect house for YOU on YOUR timeline.

Check out our “Franklin House” highlight for some peaks at how this house has changed over the years…

Your home's front may be what turns heads from the street, but the back? That's where the real fun happens. Like a mullet - business in the front, party in the back 🕺🏻😎

A well designed backyard isn't just about looking good; it's about creating spaces that bring people together. This home nails it with multiple entertainment zones: an upper deck perfect for morning coffee and al fresco dining, a lower patio for backyard BBQs, a pool with chaises for prime relaxation, and a fire pit for cozying up with friends and late-night stories.

Because the best homes don't just wow from the curb - they invite you to stay and play. Who's ready to design their dream backyard oasis?? 🔥🏊‍♂️🌳

Step into style! A portico isn't just an architectural feature - it's your home's first impression. This beauty sets the stage with graceful curves, bold lanterns, and just the right touch of symmetry. Not only does a portico protect your guests (and Amazon packages) from the elements, but it also adds charm, curb appeal, and a warm welcome to your doorstep. ✨🏡

Whether you're coming home after a long day or hosting friends, this inviting space makes an entrance in every sense of the word. Plus, who doesn't love a little extra grandeur on their front stoop? Tell us, would you go bold or classic with your portico design?

Embracing the natural contours of the land, this design uses the existing topography to create a pool area that feels nestled into its surroundings. The stone walls not only define the space and create privacy, but also provide a beautiful backdrop, blending functionality with timeless aesthetics. 🏡🌿

When a growing family and a love for entertaining come together, the design challenge is real! 🏡✨ This Cloent wanted a home that's spacious, but also warm and inviting -- no flat façades here!! We added peaks to the second floor to break up the front elevation and give the house some serious character. On the back, we created seamless indoor/outdoor living with multiple doors connecting the basement and first floor to the outdoor entertaining space. A perfect balance of style, functional, and flow! 🍃🍷
