"Guests consistently say, 'This looks like a hotel rooftop.'"

Maria transformed her Chicago garage rooftop from unused space to her family's favorite gathering spot.

But the best part? She doesn't stop when summer ends.

Another client, Shellane, hosts 6-7 outdoor parties a year — and one of her favorite memories is playing cardson her rooftop deck on cool fall evenings, warm and cozy under infrared heaters.

Most people think: "I can't use outdoor space in Chicago past August."

But what if that's not true?

What if your garage rooftop — the space currently sitting there, unused — became a year-round extension of your home?

That's the best that can happen when you design for Chicago weather, not against it.

"Before, my backyard was just cement pavers and dark gray siding. Literally just walls, cement, and an empty sad space."

That's how Shellane described her Chicago backyard.

Now?

"Every single time I walk out into the backyard, I'm happy. We have a soft, cozy couch, hydrangeas for privacy, a louvered pergola, and heaters for cool nights. It's inviting, cozy, and meditative."

The transformation? She says it "greatly increased the living space in our house."

Her kids watch movies outside. Her family plays cards on the rooftop deck on Sunday nights. Friends gravitate to the space "like a magnet."

That's what happens when you ask: "What's the BEST that can happen?"

Your backyard is either a place you avoid or a sanctuary you seek out.

Which would you rather have?
