At Vision Quest Design Group, our specialty is outdoor living and outdoor kitchen design. We combine the same elements of interior design and function while extending it to the outdoors, using materials that will endure the Texas elements as well as provide that “wow” factor.
Just as the kitchen is the heart of the home, the outdoor kitchen is the heart of your outdoor living environment. Even a non-cook can appreciate an outdoor kitchen equipped with a fine stainless-steel grill and beverage refrigerator—perfect for entertaining friends and neighbors, especially around a custom-designed swimming pool. In addition to state-of-the-art grills, refrigerators, beverage centers, sinks, and other appliances, Vision Quest Design Group can design and install built-in bar counters, bar tops, outdoor fireplaces and fire pits, and one-of-a-kind patio covers and gazebos to enhance your outdoor living experience.
A swimming pool is often the centerpiece of an outdoor living space. Swimming pools and spas are not only sources for entertainment, family gatherings, and summer fun, but they’re often much-needed spots for tranquility and relaxation.
Because each client is unique, Vision Quest Design Group custom designs swimming pools tailored to each client’s landscape. In addition to pool construction and installation, we design exotic water features, soothing waterfalls, and tranquil water fountains.

An outdoor fireplace not only provides warmth to a backyard, but it also becomes the focal point of any outdoor living space. The beauty of an outdoor fireplace, fire pit, or other fire feature is that it extends the time you can comfortably enjoy the outdoors, whether you’re roasting marshmallows with the kids of sharing a bottle of wine in front of a crackling fire.
Vision Quest Design Group designs, builds, and installs outdoor patio fireplaces and other fire features using a variety of materials, such as stone, brick, tile, or stucco. Owner Thomas Burkhardt believes that your outdoor living space is where you can truly express yourself, so let the Vision Quest Design team create a one-of-kind outdoor fireplace or fire pit that warms your friends and family— and serves as a conversation starter.
Shade structures such as pergolas and arbors are essential to enjoying outdoor patios, decks, and porches in Texas. The experts at Vision Quest Design Group can design, build, and install a variety of unique pergolas, arbors, awnings, and other shade structures using materials such as wood (western cedar, Douglas fir, redwood), metal, stone, concrete, brick, and stucco. These materials offer structural integrity as well as architectural and visual interest.
Owner Thomas Burkhardt has pioneered a concept called Directional Shade Structures, which means his team can build a custom pergola, arbor, or other shade structure outside of the vicinity of the actual shade requirement. Like trees, these structures shade a different area depending on the time of day.
Whatever your needs, you can trust the professionals at Vision Quest Design Group to design and install shade solutions to keep your outdoor living areas comfortable, cool—and stylish!
Shingled structures such as patio covers, gazebos, and cabanas are essential components to a luxurious—yet functional—outdoor living area in Texas. These structures not only provide protection from the heat and other elements while you’re relaxing on your porch or outdoor patio, but they can be an expression of your unique personality and design aesthetic.
By pushing the boundaries of common architectural principles and engineering techniques, and by using a variety of materials such as wood, metal, stone, concrete, brick, and stucco, Vision Quest Design Group can build one-of-a-kind patio covers, gazebos, and cabanas that are more than just functional; they become a masterpiece of design in your new outdoor living space.
The Vision Quest team can also handle your electrical and audio/visual requirements, such as ceiling fans and custom lighting or state-of-the-art sound systems—the finishing touches for the ultimate outdoor living experience.
Vision Quest Design Group was tasked with creating an ADA-compliant outdoor living environment that the family—including six children—could enjoy year-round. Owner Thomas Burkhardt is known for designing with curves, and this outdoor living space is the ultimate expression of that philosophy, from the giant domed amphitheater and circular fire pits to the path that winds from the highest level to the lowest.
Among the many features of this spectacular space are a fully functional outdoor kitchen with grill, multiple outdoor fire pits and outdoor fireplace, built-in bar top and bar seating, custom lighting and ceiling fans, and state-of-the-art audio/visual system. All of these elements combine to create a luxurious outdoor living space where the family can gather, rain or shine.
Vision Quest Design Group handled every phase of the construction of this outdoor masterpiece, from the initial design consultation to the finishing touches. Burkhardt enlisted the expertise of Aaron Gonzalez of Amplitude Technology Integration to incorporate the exceptionally high-tech and weatherproof media system.
To accomplish this one-of-kind outdoor living environment, Burkhardt combined diverse materials—cedar, metal, stacked stone—to ensure structural integrity and creativity while providing architectural and visual interest. This project is an excellent example of Burkhardt’s out-of-the-box creativity. If you can dream it, he can build it.
