The Outdoor Room
OBJECTIVE:
To create a true outdoor room in a unique courtyard space, pulling many interior design elements of the home into an open air setting.
CHALLENGES:
• Tight spaces and access for equipment and materials
• Addressing and managing rainwater
• Connecting the indoor and outdoor décor and style
SOLUTIONS:
• Cut and patterned Bluestone complimented the design of the interior while providing a solid patio surface to withstand outdoor elements
• A natural gas burning fire pit added warmth during cooler spring and fall days, as well as being a unique focal point
• A drilled basalt water feature created a tranquility that supplemented the contemporary style
• Annual planters were incorporated for seasonal color
