An extension of home
Outdoor living
Explore a more inviting patio or courtyard with comfortable seating, shade and a natural connection to the rooms inside.
A considered starting point
Start with what the
space needs to do.
Treat an outdoor area as a room with a purpose. Consider when it will be used, how people reach it and where shade is most helpful. Furniture scale, surface comfort and the relationship to the house can make the space feel intentional.
Questions worth exploring
- When would you most like to use the space?
- Which areas are exposed to sun, wind or runoff?
- How will people move between the house and the seating?
- Which materials suit the exposure and care routine?
