Outdoor Living in Barrington
Designed for Barrington homes and the way you live.
The Barrington area is known for larger properties, wooded and rolling lots and homes that sit naturally in the landscape. Outdoor living here should feel the same way: connected to the trees, the views and the land rather than dropped onto a flat patio.
Our Log Cabin project in Homer Glen shows how we approach properties like these: a modern pavilion, spa, fire feature and layered landscape lighting designed to work with a wooded setting and an unconventional home.
What we plan for in Barrington
Wooded and rolling lots bring real site challenges: root zones, grade, drainage and access for equipment. We study these first and design the structure, walls and lighting around them.
