Outdoor Living Design
Outdoor living designed around your home.
VizX Design Studios transforms outdoor spaces into functional, beautiful extensions of your home, throughout Chicagoland and nationwide.
We create outdoor spaces that flow naturally with your home and reflect how you live. From patios and terraces to integrated outdoor kitchens, fire features and seating, our designs bring together comfort, beauty and function.
Why VizX
Outdoor living, designed first.
01
Lifestyle-Focused Design
We don’t just design patios. We create outdoor spaces that reflect how you live, so your environment enhances relaxation, entertaining and everyday enjoyment.
02
The 5-Step Design Process
Our structured process blends creativity with precision, so every detail is thoughtfully planned, visualized and backed by real-world site data.
03
Architectural Harmony
Our designs flow seamlessly with your home’s architecture and the surrounding landscape, so the space feels both functional and timeless.
04
Flexible Build Options
Whether you want us to manage the full project or provide detailed plans for your own contractor, we make it easy to bring your vision to life on your terms.
Outdoor Living Design Studio
A complete outdoor environment, not a collection of parts.
Most outdoor projects get built one piece at a time: a patio this year, a fire pit the next, lighting as an afterthought. VizX designs the whole space at once, so the outdoor kitchen, shade, fire, seating and lighting work together as one connected environment.
Every design starts with how your family lives and entertains, and is planned around your home’s architecture with precision site mapping and 3D visualization. The result is a clear plan you can build all at once or in phases, with VizX or with your own contractor.
What We Design
Everything your outdoor living space needs.
One cohesive design that brings every feature together, each one planned around how you’ll use the space.
Outdoor Kitchens
The ultimate gathering space. From built-in grills to prep stations, bars and storage, we design outdoor kitchens that make cooking outside seamless and enjoyable.
Louvered Pergolas
Shade and comfort in any weather. Modern louvered pergolas let you control light and airflow at the touch of a button while defining your outdoor living space.
Fire Features
Warmth, ambiance and a natural gathering spot. Fire pits, fire tables and fireplaces designed to blend beauty and function for year-round enjoyment.
Landscape Lighting
Extend your evenings. Layered path, step and accent lighting highlights your home and outdoor features while improving safety and visibility.

The 5-Step Design Process
Five steps. Zero guesswork.
A clear path from first conversation to a plan you can build with confidence, whether we build it or your own contractor does.
01
Discovery & Lifestyle Assessment
We learn how you live, relax and entertain.
02

LIDAR scanning, drone imagery and elevation mapping of your property.
03
Design Language & Mood Boards
Materials and features that fit your home’s architecture.
04
Conceptual 3D Design
A fully rendered design of layout, flow and features.
05
Budget Review & Project Planning
Your investment, timeline and next steps, finalized.
How long does the outdoor living design process take?
Most outdoor living designs are completed within 3 to 5 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the project and how quickly feedback is provided. Our 5-Step Design Process keeps each stage thoughtful, efficient and clearly communicated, so you always know what to expect.
Can I hire you just for design without the build?
Yes. We often provide homeowners with complete design plans that can be handed off to their preferred contractor. This option gives you flexibility while still benefiting from our expertise and proven process.
What features can be included in my outdoor living design?
We design complete environments that may include outdoor kitchens, louvered pergolas, fire features, water elements, seating areas and landscape lighting. Every detail is customized to reflect your lifestyle and how you want to use the space.
What areas do you serve?
VizX Design Studios serves homeowners and commercial clients throughout Chicagoland and across the United States. Not sure if your project falls within our scope? Reach out. We’d love to hear what you have in mind.
