This outdoor living space was transformed from an empty patio into an inviting outdoor living environment for relaxing and entertaining friends and family. An oversized, raised spa anchors the center of this courtyard to provide a relaxing escape and serves as a fountain feature to be viewed from all the interior rooms. A new custom pavilion structure was built to provide the owners with an outdoor entertaining area that can be comfortable for a small group and can also accommodate a large dinner party or large group. The new outdoor kitchen features plenty of room for the chef and serving. The room can also fit a 12 person dining table that sits under a vaulted ceiling and below a custom built decorative chandelier that sets just the right mood. The travertine decking is surrounded by lush gardens to provide visual interest throughout the year. The project is also as equally inviting in the evening with extensive landscape lighting to set just the right mood for this private outdoor courtyard.
