Outdoor Living Space of the Year 2022

One of  our favorite end of the year activities is to sit down and take a look at all of the amazing finished projects completed by the end of the year. The best part is getting to choose one of our favorite projects to submit to the Home Builders Association’s awards program. We were honored, for the fourth year in a row, to receive the award “Outdoor Living Space of the Year” for 2022.

The HBA awards program was judged by members of the HBA of Greater Austin and the Building Industry Associations of Central Ohio and San Diego.

Pool Level Area

One of the best focal points for this project is the main pool level. It features a beautiful stone wood burning fireplace, with room for seating. The area is finished with regular broom finished concrete surrounding the pool and fireplace. The expansive patio has enough space for comfortable seating around the pool and fireplace.

Flowing to the under-deck area, the project includes a two-tiered retaining wall, with a shrubbery feature for privacy, and steps on either side of the outdoor room. The open lower patio, covered patio, and stepping stones are finished with a custom stamped concrete tile overlay. The under deck area also includes a large space for hosting table tennis tournaments and enjoying TV.
