Kirk Bianchi created the design for this residential resort next to a desert preserve. The overhang of the homes patio suggested a pool with a sweeping curve shape. Kirk positioned a raised vanishing edge pool to work with the ascending terrain and to also capture the reflections of the scenery behind. The fire pit and bbq areas are situated to capture the best views of the superstition mountains, framed by the architectural pergola that creates a window to the vista beyond. A raised glass tile spa, capturing the colors of the desert context, serves as a jewel and centerpiece for the outdoor living space.

Perched above the scenic apple orchards of South Glastonbury, Connecticut, this impressive Kalamazoo outdoor kitchen is an entertainers dream. The key design goals were to create a resort-inspired space that capitalized on the properties stunning views, and allowed the homeowners to entertain outdoors in comfort and style. The outdoor kitchen was created to function fully independently of the indoor kitchen, complete with a Kalamazoo Outdoor Dishwasher, ample weather-tight cabinetry, and powerful refrigeration units for both food and beverages. The K750HB Hybrid Fire Grill, built-in Cooktop Cabinet, and countertop Artisan Fire Pizza Oven were all selected for their unrivaled cooking performance and versatility. No detail was spared in this thoughtfully planned out space; the green Unicom Quartzite floor tiles were imported from Italy, and the countertops are made from lapis beige granite. The surrounding space includes an outdoor dining room, wood burning fireplace, swimming pool and a multi-purpose sports court.

This project was a large scale extension; two storey side and front with a single storey rear. Also a full house refurb throughout including mod cons where possible. The main workings were designed by our clients architect and we then added subtle features to ensure the finish was to our client’s desire to complete the house transformation. Our clients objective was to completely update this property and create an impressive open plan, flowing feel. During the build we overcame many build obstacles. We installed over 15 steels and carried out adjustments throughout the project. We added an additional bi folding door opening, completely opened up the back section of the house this involved adding further steels mid project. A new water main was required at 100mts in length, the access was narrow which made some tasks challenging at times. This property now has many special features which include a stylish atrium roof light in the stairwell and a large pyramid roof atrium which is 3mts long in kitchen. Large bi folding door openings were installed accompanied by an almost full open-plan living space on the ground floor. Underfloor heating has been installed in 90% of the ground floor. This property is now an impressive family home with a modern and fresh feel throughout.

Luxury Blue Patio Ideas and Designs

Patios are the go-to solution for turning your garden, or part of it, into an outdoor living area. A well-laid patio will integrate your home seamlessly into your garden, providing a solid and level surface for garden furniture and potted plants. Well designed patios are about more than just paving slabs – its positioning and layout are crucial to how much you enjoy this space. Before you start picking out patio ideas for materials and laying your patio, ask yourself important questions such as what will you use it for? How many people should it accommodate? Which part of your garden has the best aspect and sunlight? Will the patio have enough privacy?

How should I position my patio?

If you are designing your patio as a space for entertaining then make sure it’s wide enough for the garden furniture you want so you haven’t got guests tipping over into the flowerbeds. Don’t be wedded to the idea of having your patio attached to the house; think about positioning yours elsewhere in the garden if that space doesn’t offer the best aspect or lighting position. Consider the position of the sun through the course of the day and depending on whether you are most likely to want to dine outside at breakfast, have lunch on your patio or host dinner outside, you may want to position your patio differently. You can connect patios to your house with a footpath or stepping stones to allow easy transportation of food and drink.

How should I design and lay my patio?

Rectangles are the classic shape for patios, not least because they make the most efficient use of space and can be softened with garden edging. However, a rounded patio or a paving circle can perfectly complement a garden which isn’t linear in design. Paving slabs come in an extensive range of materials and are the most practical surface for patios. Yorkstone has the most traditional appeal, whereas concrete blocks, granite and slate patio slabs have a great texture and colour for modern gardens. Natural stones such as limestone, travertine and Indian sandstone vary in colour and finish and are a great way to add shade and texture to your patio. For some patio ideas that offer an alternative to block paving, loose material such as crushed stone and wood chippings have a rustic and more casual feel; if there are specific materials that re-occur elsewhere in the garden, you could repeat this in your choice of patio materials for consistency. Finally, it’s not a British summer without the great British barbeque, so look at patio ideas that incorporate barbeques and think about how you could accommodate one on your patio.

What garden furniture does my patio need?

Rattan garden furniture is a patio favourite, offering a durable, attractive finish that blends well into natural surroundings. Metal garden furniture and wooden garden furniture are sturdy alternatives available in many styles. Weight is a good feature in garden furniture to stop it from being blown away, but if you want to be able to move your furniture around the patio and garden to follow the sun you won’t want to go too heavy. Browse the various patio ideas that include garden furniture to see what styles of furniture go with different types of patios. If you find a particular patio set you like, you may be able to ask the designer where the furniture is from so you can look at buying the same set for your patio. Good, outdoor patio furniture crafted in high-quality materials should withstand bad weather, but cold, wet British winters followed by strong sun in the summer will be enough to weather even the best furniture, so it’s important to have somewhere, such as a shed, to store it when not in use for long periods of time. If you don’t have the space to store patio furniture, make sure that at least the cushions and umbrellas are stowed away out of the elements, and consider investing in a waterproof cover. One piece of furniture that might be able to stay out for a bit longer is a patio heater; it will warm any brave patio users and most modern designs are built to survive the cold weather. If you prefer something a bit more rustic than a patio heater, look at fire pits instead which will add warmth and an attractive centrepiece to your patio. If privacy or shade is an issue, then covering patio furniture with a parasol or sheltering patios with a gazebo or pergola are both smart patio ideas – these can be covered in climbing flowers or even wound with outdoor fairy lights for romantic evening lighting.
