When you pull up to the front of this comfortable mid-century home in the Midwest, the transformation of the back patio is nothing short of breathtaking. The space has been thoughtfully redesigned to accommodate lounging, dining, cooking, entertaining, swimming, and soaking in the hot tub—all seamlessly integrated into a cohesive outdoor living area. Clean lines and natural materials complement the home’s architectural style, while inviting textures and curated lighting set the perfect ambiance. From cozy seating zones and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen to the sleek pool and relaxing hot tub, every element is executed with precision and care. Who said you can’t have it all? Some favorite moments captured from this stunning retreat are showcased below.
Summer Reflections September 2018:
This project was photographed back in September 2018. The wonderful landscape work was done by Kings Landscaping and it one of our favorites over the years. Everything about this space is just about perfect.
Shooting At Dusk:
There is something unique about photographing a project at dusk. In those fleeting moments, as the sun sinks below the horizon, the sky transforms into a canvas painted with rich hues of cobalt blue. Facing west, this palette seems to shift and evolve continuously, offering an almost endless variety of color tones of yellow, blue, orange, and magenta.. These subtle yet vibrant changes create a dynamic backdrop that enhances architectural lines and interior details, making dusk an ideal time to capture the essence and atmosphere of a space with a natural, sophisticated glow. Some favorites from a shoot with Jerry Dardick.
