Another small back yard design challenge One Specialty was happy to take on. Our clients wished to remove a large planter bed against the wall and create a covered seating area in place of it. For the decking, we used Trex materials for lasting durability and easy maintenance and added new steps with lighting. The metal cantilevered pergola custom designed with shade panels provides the needed shade during the hot Texas summers. And to add more luxury, we suggested a vent-less fireplace ensuring the family could enjoy their backyard all year and our clients loved the idea!

Good Monday morning! The Richard's patio was designed as an extension of their living space inside their home. The scale of the space, surrounded by seating walls on the sides, the fireplace in the back, and the pergola above, is an effective way of creating an inviting environment for nearly year-round dining and relaxing. So much so that even the frogs want to join the party!

This cozy little nook has become a favourite outdoor gathering place. Partially because the outdoor gas fireplace makes it practical to use throughout three full seasons. When there’s an important game on, the four steps and surrounding ledges come in handy as extra seating for small groups.

This backyard in Calgary's Fishcreek is the prefect atmosphere for a party. The outdoor fireplace with mahogany privacy screens makes this yard feel private and secluded. Because of limited access while under construction, 9 trees had to be craned over the house to ensure no element of the desired "feel of the space" was sacrificed. The true eye catcher on this project was the custom powder coated Red Bull that hangs above the fireplace. Photo Credit: Jamen Rhodes

Location: Atlanta, Georgia - Historical Inman Park Scope: This home was a new home we developed and built in Atlanta, GA. The pool's water feature is centered on the 12' slider door in the living room to bring the sound of the sheer falls into the home. The pool is a black plaster, polished aggregate pool. It is zero entry as well with a umbrella holder in the pool so it can be used to place chairs in for lounging.
