Challenges
and Solutions
The project presented spatial constraints due to the newly constructed pool, requiring a strategic approach to maximize the available area without compromising comfort. To address this, a gable roof was introduced, adding height and openness while maintaining a seamless architectural flow with the home. Privacy was another key concern, necessitating the installation of a custom ladder-style structure above the grill station to shield the area from neighboring properties. These solutions enhanced both the aesthetic appeal and functionality, creating a private and spacious environment suited for outdoor living.

High-end cedar beams and a clear pine tongue-and-groove ceiling create a warm and inviting ambiance, while integrated lighting ensures usability well into the evening.
