3. Consider the outdoor dining room as a destination spot. This purely modern structure sits in a parklike setting surrounded by large trees and an expansive pool. By placing it away from the house, it becomes a destination for your guests. The particular design of this structure is reminiscent of an old drive-thru. It's time to gather the family and just hang out.
Create subtle changes. One step up is all it takes to give heightened importance to this outdoor pavilion. The "floor" is a low deck, placed above grade like a floating raft. The solid brick fireplace wall anchors the room, while the soaring, futuristic rooflines reinforce the sense of separateness.The sides of this structure may be open to the rest of the garden, but the emotional mood created by the horizontal and vertical lines makes it feel private and apart.
this is just beautiful... could stay here all night - also - we need to think about having musicians performing in our backyear... space need to work for that!!!
