Through the front door of a historic home on 2nd Street in Wilmington, North Carolina, a corridor leads past a newly remodeled kitchen and towards a simply showstopping view: a backlit, infinity-edge pool framed perfectly by a bank of windows, complete with spa and fountain built into the heart of the backyard. It’ s the centerpiece of a project that also features a detached garage, an outdoor kitchen, and a pool house with its own gym, wet bar, and sunken fire pit – all within the tight footprint of a protected district. For Tanner Konrady, Owner and President of Konrady & Son Construction( Konrady & Son) – the company behind this exceptional build – it’ s a fitting illustration of a business built on solving these kinds of puzzles.
“ The entire backyard was intentionally designed within a very constricted space, which is difficult to achieve with that many elements,” he highlights.“ It had to be sequenced very strategically which extended the construction timeline, but it’ s what the lot’ s infrastructure demanded. It was a genuinely collaborative effort with Romero Architecture, M. J. Pools, and Element Landscaping, to tie all those independent spaces into one cohesive whole – it’ s an incredibly unique project and an awesome space.”
