Romantic Wrap-Around Revival
Traditional Patio, Chicago
The rear corner of the house (near the kitchen) was reclaimed as a usable space for grilling and dining, which the homeowners desired. The narrow set of stairs was replaced with a wide and gracious staircase that allowed for gentler egress in two directions. The storm cellar entrance was fortified, and the cluster of utilities was concealed. The bluestone patio is spacious enough for a grill and table for six.
