Outdoor Living Spaces & Kitchens
We design outdoor living spaces made for gathering - built-in kitchens, fireplaces, fire pits, and comfortable seating areas that extend your season and your square footage.
Outdoor living works best when every element is planned together. As a design-build company, we integrate your kitchen, fire feature, patio, and landscape into one cohesive space - designed in 3D first, then built by one accountable team.
The payoff is real square footage you actually use. A well-designed outdoor room becomes the place your family eats, relaxes, and entertains from spring through fall, and with the right fire features and heaters, well into the colder months too.

Add a Room Without Adding On
An outdoor living space is the rare home improvement that gives you more living area, more time outside, and more reasons to invite people over - usually for a fraction of the cost of an indoor addition. Because we design the kitchen, fire feature, patio, and plantings together from the start, everything flows as one space instead of feeling like pieces added over time.
Build Your Outdoor Room
Mix and match the elements that fit how you actually want to use the space.
Outdoor Kitchens
Built-in grills, counters, storage, and even pizza ovens or kegerators - a real kitchen so the cook stays part of the party.
Fireplaces
A natural-stone fireplace anchors the space, throws real heat, and stretches your season on cool Minnesota evenings.
Fire Pits
Gas or wood-burning fire pits - the easy, social centerpiece everyone naturally gathers around.
Shade & Pergolas
Pergolas, louvered roofs, and covered structures that make the space comfortable in full sun or light rain.
Seating & Lounges
Built-in seat walls and defined lounge and dining zones so the space works for both quiet nights and big crowds.
Lighting & Ambiance
Layered landscape and hardscape lighting that makes the space safe, usable, and beautiful well after sunset.
