The goal of this project was to create an open, family living space to be enjoyed during all seasons. Care was taken in the design and placement of the structure over the paver patio so as not to block light into the dining room, while still providing plenty of coverage for staying dry during rainy days. The patio is a mix of two paver colors, and three large scale paver sizes, adding a unique variety of blends to the space. The fence design was developed to borrow the view of the native surroundings and help blur the line between nature and the manicured landscape, while keeping children and dogs safely within the yard.
