Jon, Trish, and their two children live in a quintessential family-friendly neighborhood. They fell in love with the spacious backyard when they first bought the house, but 12 years later, it still sits untouched. To give the whole community an outdoor space to enjoy, Brian and Sarah build an outdoor movie theatre in their backyard.
Ali and Hana have two very talented young children – and a very noisy and crowded house. Their son, Mateja, is a budding drummer, while their daughter, Mila, enjoys everything from tap dancing to violin. To give everyone in this family their own space, Brian and Sarah turn an old garage into a kids’ music and arts hangout.
Tina is a professional chef and amateur cake decorator. She and her husband, Patrick, have two young boys and a home that is overrun with both baking supplies and soccer equipment. To extend this family’s living space, Brian and Sarah turn their backyard into one part cake decorating studio and one part soccer field.
Kirsten and Joel have short commutes. She’s a Realtor who works from the home office, while Joel is a sales representative with a make-shift workspace in their master bedroom. To help this couple reclaim their bedroom, Brian and Sarah look to the backyard for space to retrofit an old shipping container into an office.
