For the outdoor alfresco area, we replaced the flooring and installed a fan and heating into the ceiling, as well as the wood feature. We added new, low maintenance decking and the area was landscaped. The plunge pool is quite small so we added a mural to the wall to give the area a sense of space. Decking: Millboard Enhanced Grain Decking. Alfresco Ceiling: Cedar West. Heating Strips: Heatstrip. Fan: Big Ass Fans. Flooring:Reverso Grigio Patinato Natural.

Imagine your outdoor space looking this inviting as this beautiful South Carolina Space. The American Louvered Roof cools this homeowner's space by 15 to 20 degrees. When closed it blocks sun and rain. When opened partially it allows hot air to escape, while still shading deck. When opened completely, it allows warming solar energy into home and on patio during cooler months. This is a perfect covered porch (covered patio) option. It doesn't block sun permanently; a benefit that homeowners appreciate during cooler months. It is the perfect sleeping porch and outdoor living space. When fans are running and louvers are partially opened the space is 15 to 20 degrees cooler. Let us help you create an outdoor sleeping porch or outdoor dining area in your backyard.

セルロースファイバーを採用することで遮音性を高め、バリの静かな自然を感じられるように計画。居室内は外部の音がほとんど聞こえない為、より夫婦の会話が鮮明に、BGMはよりクリアに聞こえ、優雅な時間を過ごすことが可能です。 　リビングとテラスは大スパンによる大空間を実現し、リビングは無柱空間を実現。大きなテラス窓を開放することで、パーティーなどで一体的に利用できる計画。テラスには背の高い壁を計画し、プライバシーを確保しながら、「花ブロック」を内部に採用することで通風・採光は確保しております。 　折り上げ天井内には間接照明を計画し、バリの雰囲気を盛り上げるアイデアを。

Nestled in a wooded area in the Pacific Northwest, the 1800 sf Passive Cedar Haus was built as a retirement home. The Artisans Group designed the layout of the home, mindful of aging in place, and working to ensure that the home blended in with the surrounding natural beauty. The project meets a complex program, with an unheated sleeping porch for a master bedroom, a screened porch, a 600 sf caretakers apartment/mother in law unit, large wood shop, plus a two car carport. The home seamlessly integrates a floating cedar tongue and groove roof with large sheltering overhangs, clerestory windows, and language of cedar slats for privacy screens and doors inside and out. The warm, natural materials of wood and cork for the interior palette are punctuated by lively accents and stunning fixtures. This ultra energy efficient home relies on extremely high levels of insulation, air-tight detailing and construction, and the implementation of high performance, custom made European windows and doors by Zola Windows. Zola’s ThermoPlus Clad line, which boasts R-11 triple glazing and is thermally broken with a layer of patented German Purenit®, was selected for the project. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the main living area, gives an expansive view of the surrounding Northwest forest. The tops of these windows reveal the interior cedar clad and the up-swept soffits on the home’s exterior, creating a floating ceiling effect. Slatted spruce wood fly-overs break up the vertical areas of the great room and define separate areas that would otherwise feel like an overwhelmingly expansive space.

The Social Series fire pit was inspired by cozy nights and warm conversations around the campfire with close family and friends. Made with beautiful western red cedar and solid concrete, this unique piece was designed to invoke that “under the endless stars” experience elegantly in your backyard. The piece does not have a backrest, making you lean a little forward and closer to those sitting around you in the warming glow of the flames. It’s simple lines are easy on the eyes, and it’s low horizon does not intrude upon any surrounding landscaping, gardens or views. Solid, yet comfortable, the Social Series fire pit can be outfitted with a propane, natural gas or ethanol burner. David Fournier Photography

Side Patio with Decking Ideas and Designs

Patios are the go-to solution for turning your garden, or part of it, into an outdoor living area. A well-laid patio will integrate your home seamlessly into your garden, providing a solid and level surface for garden furniture and potted plants. Well designed patios are about more than just paving slabs – its positioning and layout are crucial to how much you enjoy this space. Before you start picking out patio ideas for materials and laying your patio, ask yourself important questions such as what will you use it for? How many people should it accommodate? Which part of your garden has the best aspect and sunlight? Will the patio have enough privacy?

How should I position my patio?

If you are designing your patio as a space for entertaining then make sure it’s wide enough for the garden furniture you want so you haven’t got guests tipping over into the flowerbeds. Don’t be wedded to the idea of having your patio attached to the house; think about positioning yours elsewhere in the garden if that space doesn’t offer the best aspect or lighting position. Consider the position of the sun through the course of the day and depending on whether you are most likely to want to dine outside at breakfast, have lunch on your patio or host dinner outside, you may want to position your patio differently. You can connect patios to your house with a footpath or stepping stones to allow easy transportation of food and drink.

How should I design and lay my patio?

Rectangles are the classic shape for patios, not least because they make the most efficient use of space and can be softened with garden edging. However, a rounded patio or a paving circle can perfectly complement a garden which isn’t linear in design. Paving slabs come in an extensive range of materials and are the most practical surface for patios. Yorkstone has the most traditional appeal, whereas concrete blocks, granite and slate patio slabs have a great texture and colour for modern gardens. Natural stones such as limestone, travertine and Indian sandstone vary in colour and finish and are a great way to add shade and texture to your patio. For some patio ideas that offer an alternative to block paving, loose material such as crushed stone and wood chippings have a rustic and more casual feel; if there are specific materials that re-occur elsewhere in the garden, you could repeat this in your choice of patio materials for consistency. Finally, it’s not a British summer without the great British barbeque, so look at patio ideas that incorporate barbeques and think about how you could accommodate one on your patio.

What garden furniture does my patio need?

Rattan garden furniture is a patio favourite, offering a durable, attractive finish that blends well into natural surroundings. Metal garden furniture and wooden garden furniture are sturdy alternatives available in many styles. Weight is a good feature in garden furniture to stop it from being blown away, but if you want to be able to move your furniture around the patio and garden to follow the sun you won’t want to go too heavy. Browse the various patio ideas that include garden furniture to see what styles of furniture go with different types of patios. If you find a particular patio set you like, you may be able to ask the designer where the furniture is from so you can look at buying the same set for your patio. Good, outdoor patio furniture crafted in high-quality materials should withstand bad weather, but cold, wet British winters followed by strong sun in the summer will be enough to weather even the best furniture, so it’s important to have somewhere, such as a shed, to store it when not in use for long periods of time. If you don’t have the space to store patio furniture, make sure that at least the cushions and umbrellas are stowed away out of the elements, and consider investing in a waterproof cover. One piece of furniture that might be able to stay out for a bit longer is a patio heater; it will warm any brave patio users and most modern designs are built to survive the cold weather. If you prefer something a bit more rustic than a patio heater, look at fire pits instead which will add warmth and an attractive centrepiece to your patio. If privacy or shade is an issue, then covering patio furniture with a parasol or sheltering patios with a gazebo or pergola are both smart patio ideas – these can be covered in climbing flowers or even wound with outdoor fairy lights for romantic evening lighting.
