<h2>Michael and Marianne's Design</h2><p>Michael and Marianne had a design problem - they wanted to preserve most of their back yard for a future pool and did not want to extend into the side yard where the kids play. They wanted a hot tub and pergola incorporated as well as a dining and food preparation area. A few concepts were evaluated and a final theme was decided on. Michael and Marianne decided they enjoyed a linear layout that allowed for a decent view from inside the house, allowed traffic to move around easily and granted access to anywhere in the backyard.</p><h3>Gregory Allan Designs also prepared a layout to clarify the framing of the picture frame border as well as for the intricate pattern boards. </h3><p>This design was completed entirely with communication via email as Michael and Marianne live in New York. Digital pictures were sent to Gregory Allan Designs as well as a few critical dimensions. From there a few concepts were presented and a design direction was decided on. The whole process, from initial contact, to final design, and including a framing plan took 12 days to complete.</p><h3><a href="../../en/contact" target="_self">Contact Gregory Allan Designs to get your design started today!</a></h3>
