This design/build project presented the opportunity to maximize outdoor living space on a lovely lot in Highland Park. The owners’ goal was to create a relaxing and entertaining space with a wood-fired pizza oven, grill, smoker, and various gaming opportunities for the family.

Beyond the pavilion itself, I was given the opportunity to design/build furniture pieces for the space using reclaimed Douglas fir beams from the house that formerly stood on the lot, along with some ash from the property to make a dining table, benches and a combination shuffleboard/carpet ball table.

The storage lockers on the back of the structure conceal an outdoor ping-pong table that can be rolled out, and the owners also installed a pickle ball/basketball court along with gardens and a fire pit on the property.
