Backyard Retreat

Our client is a professional photographer in DeForest, Wisconsin. He planned to use the arbor, trellis, and flower garden as a photographic backdrop for portraits. The client provided a set of plans and we modified their scale for actual construction purposes. The pergola and new patio door continue to bring adequate light into the kitchen and dining room while managing heat gain and glare. The pergola adds an attractive feature to the outdoor space and helps mitigate the impact of the large walls while defining an “outdoor room” around the patio seating area. All of the projects were created with artisan craftsmanship, and the ordinary materials are made beautiful through their application.
