Historically, architects were very much involved with exterior spaces, from grand public squares to more modest private courtyards. Often the line between inside and outside is arbitrary, and in some projects, it makes sense for the designer to work in both realms.

A deck or patio is a natural extension of what is happening on the interior of the house. We always think of rooms in series, as connected, and we work hard to make adjacent spaces work well together.

A deck off of a sunroom or a paver patio off of a family room are perfect examples of how the usable sq. footage of the house can be extended.

Useful, hardworking exterior spaces make houses live larger.
