In the midst of the unprecedented challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, THP Builders embarked on a remarkable journey to create a haven of respite and rejuvenation. The result was ‘Sheyard,’ an award-winning outdoor space that redefines the concept of outdoor living.

A Pandemic’s Impact on Well-Being

As the world grappled with the isolation and uncertainties that the pandemic brought. The importance of a serene and functional living space became abundantly clear. For the homeowner, a senior who had previously led an active life. Sudden confinement within the walls of her home took an emotional toll. Seeking solace and a connection to the outdoors, she turned to THP Builders.

From Barren to Breathtaking

The ‘Sheyard’ project began with a vision to transform an underutilized and vacant backyard into a sanctuary of tranquility. The term ‘Sheyard’ itself is a testament to the homeowner’s desire for a space that resonated with her personality. She’s elegant, nurturing, and empowering. It was to be a place where she could find refuge and rejuvenate her spirit.

The transformation was nothing short of extraordinary. We collaborated with our Landscape Architect and interior designer. Then orchestrated a symphony of design and functionality. What was once a blank canvas evolved into a harmonious blend of textures and colors. We seamlessly integrating the elements of nature with the homeowner’s vision.

This haven wasn’t just for the day. We meticulously designed for nights as well, providing comfort untethered by the elements. Witnessing the profound impact on the homeowner’s life, we take immense pride in this project and its enduring significance.

An Impact Beyond Design

This award-winning outdoor space serves as an inspiration to homeowners and designers alike. It is a reminder that every space, no matter its size, has the potential to become a canvas of creativity and a sanctuary of well-being. This project by THP Builders demonstrates that true innovation lies not only in design but in the ability to craft environments that nurture the soul and elevate the human experience.

For this project, THP Builders received recognition by the Home Builders Association of Greater Chicago for Excellence in Design with a Gold Key Award in the Outdoor Spaces category of the 2020 Key Awards competition – Crafting a Pandemic Sanctuary: “Sheyard” by THP Builders.
