A New Four-Season Room and Outdoor Living Space

We recently completed an exciting project for Charles and Kayla at their Sun Prairie, WI, home.

Charles, Kayla, and their young children live in a beautiful home in the Westwynde neighborhood and had a dream of expanding their living space. They approached us with the idea of adding a four-season room to their home. In addition, they wanted to incorporate a spacious concrete patio that included a basketball court, creating a fun and functional outdoor space for their kids to enjoy as they grow older.

See how we transformed their home by adding a four-season room and outdoor living space the entire family can enjoy!

A Vision for The Future

Charles and Kayla came to us with an idea of what they wanted, including a clear design aesthetic. They envisioned a bright, open space filled with natural light, featuring plenty of windows. They were drawn to whitewashed elements but wanted to add a touch of warmth to the design to create an inviting, cozy atmosphere the entire family could enjoy all year.

During our initial visit, we noticed a large deck off the family room that, despite its size, was often overheated due to lack of shade. It had become a cluttered, uncomfortable space filled with patio furniture and toys and required frequent maintenance.

Removing the Deck

The existing deck was the perfect location for the new four-season room. To build the space, we needed to remove the old deck. We used the existing footprint as a template for the new room, shortening it by about six feet to allow for a maintenance-free composite deck. The new deck features a pyramid staircase, connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces and leading to the patio and backyard.

Just off the patio, we added a 20' x 24' basketball court for the kids. This court is a central feature of the outdoor space, giving the kids a perfect spot to invite friends over for a game of hoops. The court is made of simple broom-swept gray concrete, offering a low-maintenance surface ideal for basketball.

Making A Statement with the New Four-Season Room

Charles and Kayla wanted a warm, inviting, and comfortable four-season room the family could enjoy year-round. We created the statement piece of this project. We opened a passage from the room to the deck, installing an Alliance sliding 2-light patio door that brings in loads of natural light and is the perfect transition from indoor to outdoor living. We included tall, double-hung, and transom windows to allow more light to flood the space. The bright, open, and spacious sunroom brings the outdoors in.

To give the space architectural interest and make it feel larger, we designed a cathedral ceiling and included a whitewashed nickel gap. These elements elevate the design and are an aesthetically pleasing way to take this space to the next level of design. LVP flooring throughout the room adds to the coziness and warmth of the space.

One of the most unique features of this four-season room is the exterior trim work. The trim work was designed to match and complement a repeating pattern from the front of the home. To achieve the look we used Smartside panels and custom-cut trim pieces to add a decorative element to the transom window bump out. This detail was a perfect match for the design element from the front of the home making this four-season room a seamless addition to the house.

Charles and Kayla love their new space! We worked closely with the couple, listened to their ideas and vision, and transformed their living space with a seamless four-season room and an extended outdoor patio space/basketball court.

An Above the Garage Master Suite Addition Remodeling Project

We recently completed an addition for our clients, John and Amy, a professional couple with young children living in the Blooming Meadows neighborhood in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.

Their home featured three bedrooms on the second floor. The existing master bedroom was outdated and impractical for modern living, and with three young children, two needed to share one of the two remaining bedrooms, and all three kids shared the second-floor bathroom. Another problem the family needed addressed was that John needed a private home office, and the one they currently had was a shared space that did not work well for his job.

Let's take a look at our creative solution for this young family!

A New Private Bathroom for the Adults!

One of the major elements on John and Amy's wish list was a private bathroom space just for them. They wanted plenty of space to get ready in the morning, away from the kids, and we delivered! The bathroom features a handcrafted Amish custom double vanity with a tower cabinet in alder wood, stained Carbon Gray. The contrasting Linnstone Quartz Calcutta pattern countertop brightens the space and ties in visually with the elegant tile work in the spacious walk-in shower. We added custom alder wood framed mirrors stained in the same Carbon Gray as the cabinets to complete the vanity. Over each of the mirrors, we installed Quoizel 2 light vanity fixtures to provide plenty of warm light.

In the shower, the 21st Century Tile 12x24 floor-to-ceiling tiles in Tivoli Silver give the room a bright and modern feel, and the low entry shower makes entering the shower safe and easy for the couple. We included a helpful niche in the shower for shampoo and other toiletries and, for contrast, used a beautiful hexagon mosaic accent tile. The glass doors give the space an open feel, making it bright and inviting. The Arbor Hills luxury vinyl plank flooring in timber adds a warm feel, giving the room a natural look with the benefit of waterproof LVP.

The Result

The final result of this second-floor master suite addition is a home that fits John, Amy, and the kid's needs and lifestyle perfectly. John now has the perfect private office space. Since John and Amy now have their private master suite, and each of the kids has their own bedroom giving them their own space to grow as they grow, their home is more comfortable and functional. And on the exterior, you can't even tell there's been an addition!
