Charismatic Cabana

Creating a year-round gathering space to host family and friends was the top priority for a Wixom couple when they approached us about designing and building a backyard pool-side cabana. Their wish list was long, and their expectations were high. Not least on their list – they wanted it to be spectacular!  Our design team rose to the challenge and created an open concept space with 4 unique functions, covered outdoor space, kitchen and bar, seating with fireplace and storage. A full bath with steam shower and an outdoor shower were also incorporated into the design. The structure was framed completely using 8x8 douglas fir timbers and pinned joinery. The ceiling above the seating area was constructed using a one of a kind ‘Cross vault’ timber system. Open gable timbers frame the area on 3 sides. The stone fireplace and stone accent wall in the kitchen add to the rustic appeal. The walls and ceiling are finished with pine tongue and groove boards and finished in a contrasting natural matte finish. The kitchen area is lined with beautiful white shaker style cabinets and topped with stunning black and white quartz countertops. The lighting in the kitchen shows off the walnut cabinet interiors and floating corner display shelves. To bring the outside in, two large accordion style glass doors were included to access the pool on one side and covered patio on the other. Without question – this is a place to party.
