Sometimes, a design becomes even more than an amazing design. It becomes a design that wins an award, and who doesn’t like to share news like that?

This year, one of our designs received a big award, The 2022 American Institute of Building Design (AIBD) Grand ARDA (American Residential Design Award) for Outdoor Living. There were 168 entries from 63 designers, and we were honored to have won for our project we titled, “Next Level Exterior Living”. We were blown away by all the entries and the design talent that was on display at this year’s award ceremony.

Project Details

This project was two-fold—create outdoor living and keep the integrity of the design of the existing home. Our clients were installing a new inground pool and we were tasked with creating a two-level covered patio overlooking the pool.

Design features include:

Ample room for dining on both levels
An outdoor kitchen
A large sitting area on each level, each with its own fireplace
An open-air deck for the grill and bar
Easy access to the pool patio

Working closely with the builder, Taylor Lykins Custom Homes, we were able to construct this area with a low-profile roof and brick piers and arches to maintain a cohesive look that was true to the original style and feel of the home.

Now every design we create for our builders and clients won’t win an award, but you can be rest assured we will create the vision needed to win in our clients’ and builders’ eyes.

What can we design for you? Our team at Residential Designed Solutions would be honored to work with you and create award-winning projects. Call us at 614-430-0027 or contact us here.
