Looking to update the exterior, the homeowners wanted a comfortable place out of the elements for daily life, with room to relax and a place to watch the grandkids play. A poured, colored concrete patio sets the stage, covered by a shed roof that ties seamlessly into the existing home, matching the original shingles.

A gabled entry with architectural detail and a dark bronze metal roof adds definition, while rough-sawn cedar beams, beadboard ceilings, and an outdoor fan bring warmth and comfort. Sheltered from sun and weather, this space is designed to make time outside last even longer.
