Vinings – Family Room, Playroom, Porch, Patio

The Assignment

Our clients wanted to build a new family room addition to replace the small, poorly-constructed family room the previous owner had built. Their requests included:

• The transition from inside to outside to be easy
• A gathering place for adults
• Separate game room for their children
• An outdoor living space with a fireplace.

The Work

Here’s what Harbour Towne did to ensure our client received the family room of their dreams:

• Lowered the new family room two steps to present a more gradual transition to the outdoors
• Replaced the existing, low ceiling with a vaulted cone with decorative wood beams
• Added windows and glass doors to bring in as much natural light as possible
• Put in a patterned carpet to provide child-friendly comfort and sound-deadening qualities
• Added hardwood flooring in the family room, leading to tile flooring on the porch.
• Installed a stainless steel fireplace, enhanced with synthetic stacked stone
• Built a perimeter around the porch, which doubles as seating
• Put in a stamped, colored concrete patio

The End Result

Our client now has what they wished for--a warm and inviting gathering space that transitions effortlessly between inside and outside.
