Outdoor Living – Porch Additions, Outdoor Kitchens, Pool Houses, Fountains and Landscaping
Donatelli Builders, Inc. has collaborated with architects and interior designers throughout DuPage County and the Chicagoland area on fabulous porch additions and outdoor kitchens. Often times, when homeowners think about exterior renovations, they couple it with a possible expansion of their outdoor living space to add more flexibility for themselves and their guests. Porch additions are a wonderful way to add on to your home and create space that is available during all four of Chicago’s seasons. For residents who entertain guests often and host parties at their homes, outdoors kitchens can be a great way to add a unique family gathering and entertainment area. Outdoor kitchens can complement your home’s existing architectural appeal, too. Crushed granite, brick pavers, slate, natural stone, tile, stucco and other weather-friendly materials should all be taken into consideration when planning for outdoor kitchens. Pool Houses Pool houses are becoming a more popular amenity for today’s high-end homes. If you have the proper space and are considering a new pool house as part of your master home improvement plans and exterior upgrades, give us a call. For the ultimate experience in luxury outdoor living – and to help maintain a healthy lifestyle through swimming – consider the essential features that are needed for today’s upscale pool houses. Years ago, pool houses had a changing room and a bathroom, but that’s not the case anymore. Just as with any new home construction, proper planning for pool houses must take everything into account: architectural features, materials, fixtures, cabinetry, tile, lighting, electrical, plumbing, appliances -- you name it. If you have a vision for what you want your pool house to look like, bring us on board to build it to your exacting standards. The team at Donatelli Builders, Inc. works with top architects and interior designers in the Chicago area to space plan, design and build any home to suit you. Landscaping Features
Your home’s landscaping is an extension of its architectural influence and interior details. It can add dramatic value to your property. Donatelli Builders, Inc. – together with leading landscape architecture and construction firms in the Chicago area – creates spectacular outdoor settings to complement your home. From lighting and walkways to drop-irrigation systems and arbors, your exterior space deserves the same attention to detail and well-thought-out plan as your interior space. We employ the same collaborative building system for landscape projects as we use for all of our residential projects. This starts with listening to you first, and then developing practical solutions and aesthetic appeal to design a space that will bring you enjoyment for years to come. Fountains
Fountain pools can turn an unassuming yard into an attractive and tranquil surrounding. Some fountains feature beautiful, detailed aesthetic designs such as animal heads or floral arrangements. They can be multi-tiered or single-tiered and come in all sizes. Whatever design fits your home’s architectural elements, the sound of running water cascading through a fountain is a stress-reliever as it helps people relax, and the decorative effects can be striking, especially offering a welcoming feeling to your guests. If you have an artistic idea in mind for your outdoor living space, give us a call. We work with leading landscaping firms in DuPage County and beyond. |
