Shakopee, Minnesota
2016 Region 3 North Central CotY Award Winner, Residential Detached Structure
We’ve named this backyard pavilion “Le Lodge” because it melds the wife’s French Country decorating taste with her husband’s fondness for wildlife and grilling. A see-through fireplace forms the dramatic focal point between the dining and lounging areas. Formidable Douglas Fir trusses and cedar decking create a warm canopy over exceptional stonework, paving and decorative concrete. Smoker and infrared grills are perfect for fish and game and the TV swivels so the chef never misses the action. The floating granite bar has a hidden steel spine.
