The initial goal of this Illinois project was to build an outdoor pavilion and kitchen on a newly purchased lot next to the homeowners’ existing lot. But one thing led to another, and a team including Joey Rossa of JMR Landscaping, Nick Shaver of Century Bay Builders and interior designer Laurie Demetrio ended up giving the homeowners a pool, a spa, a two-level guesthouse and a two-car garage as well.
The generously appointed pavilion has ceiling heaters and a fireplace to keep things toasty on cooler days, plus ceiling fans to stir up breezes when it’s warm. Cushy seating surrounds a coffee table, promoting conversation and connection. The outdoor kitchen is party-ready with a grill, smoker, pizza oven, wine cooler and more. There’s also a five-seat bar with plenty of countertop space, and a TV above the fireplace.
