Extended Living Outdoors

All-In-One Hangout – Out the Backdoor

Who says the best things come in large sizes? This cozy backyard is filled with entertainment destinations to make large groups happy in a smaller size space. And yet, just-the-two-of-them thrive in this snug venue enjoying early morning coffee or sunset cocktails. (whoops, +two family dogs)

This happy couple is thrilled to have an extended living space to complete their comfortable lifestyle. Gravitating to their new backyard, they switch-up office monotony to work outdoors under the covered structure or pergola at the long bar. Hopping on a work call or zoom meeting, access is easy from  the comfort of their sheltered outdoor living space. And their dogs love having company all day too!

It’s all in the design. When meeting our designers, our homeowner’ ideas focused on entertainment for friends and family. They wanted a go-to for meal sharing, firelight & friendship, all in a relaxing atmosphere.  Mission Accomplished.  With Firepit & Fireplace – warm & restful is part of the backyard charm. A large welcoming dining table surrounded by kitchen counterspace makes serving up pot lucks and barbeques a breeze. Add an additional Smoker Joe island – the ‘Boys ‘N their Grills’ become crowd pleasers. Take a seat at the Bar under the shade sail and enjoy your vittles from a full-room viewpoint.

Fun details in this small yard with loads of destination. Did you notice the wrap-around bar table close to the action, the pillar water feature with its trickling melody, and the smokeless firepit? Don’t miss the raised garden beds, the perfect sized lawn and pristine pathways. Truly an extended outdoor paradise a few steps from indoors.
