The brief
The backyard started as bare soil. The owners asked for one cohesive outdoor living area: a louvered pergola, an L-shaped kitchen with a barbecue and built-in refrigerator, dining and bar seating, and a fire feature.
The design borrows the wood-slat detailing and path lighting already used at the front of the house and carries them into the back, so the two sides of the property feel like one project.
Built for the hours after dinner.
