Completed 2016
This outdoor living space was designed to complement the home’s architecture while creating inviting areas for gathering and relaxation. A custom pergola-covered kitchen, poolside lounge, and stone fireplace extend the home outdoors, while a front courtyard with a fountain adds a welcoming focal point. Thoughtful lighting, natural materials, and layered landscaping make the space beautiful and functional from day into evening.
