Outdoor Living Room

The main goal of this was project was to create a three-season living space that extended the outdoor livable season.  The space features a custom-built IPE deck accompanied by a large 12’x18’ covered porch. This porch has custom built phantom screens and 4 large sky lights to allow you to be surround by nature but protected from its elements. The layout and finishes were chosen to flow with the interior of the home, creating a seamless extension of the house.  The built-in sky lights allow for ample amount of natural light to enter the space, while also doubling as a way to view the stars in the summer evenings.‍The structure is cladded in a PVC material which achieves the clean and simple look that the client was hoping for. The cladding material is also very low maintenance and will continue to look great for many years to come. Although the client was really drawn to modern design, they wanted to make sure that the porch wouldn’t look out of place with the house and surrounding forest. To achieve a look that met their aesthetic requirements, the structure was kept relatively traditional, but a modern flare was achieved with the addition of simple plantings, accents, material choices.   ‍With a strong desire to extend the outdoor livable season, the Taylor residence included the construction of a custom built three-season porch complete with all the amenities.  Beginning with a large 12’x18’ Ipe deck, the whole outdoor space is completely covered with custom built phantom screens while also featuring four large sky lights allowing one to be completely surrounded by nature but protected from its elements.  The layout and finishes were chosen to flow with the interior of the home, creating a seamless extension of the house.  The built-in sky lights allow for ample amount of natural light to enter the space, while also doubling as a way to view the stars in the summer evenings.‍While the client was initially drawn to a more modern design, careful consideration of site context highlighted an opportunity to have the structure integrate with the surrounding forest.  To achieve a look that met their aesthetic requirements, the structure was kept relatively traditional, but a modern flare was achieved with the addition of simple plantings, accents and material choices.  In the end, the whole of the structure was clad in a PVC material that not only offered the preferred aesthetic but also provided an ease of mind low-maintenance high-durability option that will continue to look great for years to come.
