The homeowners wanted to have a place for their home office as well as a nice place for guests to have their own privacy when staying at their home. This casita was placed nicely so that it has a beautiful view of the pool and patio area, yet is set back far enough from the house that everyone has their own quiet space.

Inspiration for a large southwestern backyard concrete patio remodel in Phoenix with a fire pit and a roof extension

It's not just a patio but another room. A deck or patio no longer needs to be 1 dimensional. Different levels can turn your space into a multi functional outdoor room. The only limitation is your imagination. From kitchens, seating areas, hobby spots or an outdoor work out area, just about anything is possible.

The design of this cottage casita was a mix of classic Ralph Lauren, traditional Spanish and American cottage. J Hill Interiors was hired to redecorate this back home to occupy the family, during the main home’s renovations. J Hill Interiors is currently under-way in completely redesigning the client’s main home. Andy McRory Photography

The stone fireplace defines this outdoor room. It is the main focal point of the landscape, it is dramatic, tall, and draws the eye. The concrete sills tie the entire wall together and create a beautiful composition.

Kirk Bianchi created the design for this residential resort next to a desert preserve. The overhang of the homes patio suggested a pool with a sweeping curve shape. Kirk positioned a raised vanishing edge pool to work with the ascending terrain and to also capture the reflections of the scenery behind. The fire pit and bbq areas are situated to capture the best views of the superstition mountains, framed by the architectural pergola that creates a window to the vista beyond. A raised glass tile spa, capturing the colors of the desert context, serves as a jewel and centerpiece for the outdoor living space.
