Backyard Retreat
Backyard Retreat is a near 500 square foot deck addition to an existing home located in Bellingham, WA. The family wanted to have space where outdoor festivities could take place. As well as lounging throughout the spring and summer months. The addition included a covered deck with ceiling fans for added ventilation and cooling. And a concrete slab for low maintenance and high play possibilities. The high roof over the deck protects the client's family from the inclement weather while making one feel like they’re still surrounded by the great outdoors.
The addition features space for a hot tub that the family can enjoy year-round, along with a three-piece patio set that offers to lounge when one is done soaking. The existing uncovered deck was then incorporated into the design to house a space for outdoor dining and grilling off the kitchen or the best location for a couple of deck chairs for sunbathing. The homes existing sliding doors were maintained and built upon creating architectural interest to the back of the house and practicality for outdoor living.
The home didn’t need much improvement to make it shine. Still, the addition really maximized the home's original layout and increased its potential as a family home capable of hosting gatherings of any sort. This deck is suited for the entertainer every family needs, the grill master that hosts the best family reunions, the parents that host the kids post soccer practice pizza parties, campfires with old friends on warm summer evenings, and quiet evenings with your loved ones on a typical weekday when you so wonderfully have nowhere else you’d rather be.
Backyard Retreat, and many others like it, make a huge impact on how our clients use their space. Why not make the most of the property your home sits on and enjoy every aspect of indoor/outdoor living tailored to your family’s needs.
