This project reimagines an under-used back yard in Portland, Oregon, creating an urban garden with an adjacent writer’s studio. Taking inspiration from Japanese precedents, we conceived of a paving scheme with planters, a cedar soaking tub, a fire pit, and a seven-foot-tall cedar fence. A maple tree forms the focal point and will grow to shade the yard. Photo: Anna M Campbell: annamcampbell.com

This spacious, covered patio is the perfect retreat for enjoying the outdoors with all the comforts of an indoor setting. The neutral color palette of the sandstone paver patio, and natural wood tones of the tongue & groove ceilings and privacy screen are in keeping with the modern aesthetic our homeowners desired. Whether you are dining alfresco in the outdoor dining room or gathering around the beautiful modern limestone fireplace with mounted TV to watch your favorite team, this versatile space is a harmonious blend of natural beauty, functionality, and modern design.

This small backyard landscape sandwiched between home and garage, was transformed from a drab weed patch into a stunning outdoor breakfast nook! Porcelain patio pavers were carefully installed for improved drainage to move water away from the home. A new cedar fence was installed between neighboring lots. A custom cedar trellis was installed over the garage facade, to draw attention away from the garage siding, framing windows and foliage. Pretty white planters, large hydrangea blooms, crisp lime green hostas and purple pansies add color and brightness to this shaded retreat. LED lighting and irrigation systems were also integrated into the landscape.

Deep Blue® sandblasted pavers create a relaxing side patio for the family to gather and enjoy each other's company. The natural whites and gray of the stone compliment the natural elements of the area, as well as the multi-color outdoor fireplace.

Patio - traditional patio idea in Dallas with a fire pit and a pergola

A long, modern dining table from B & B Italia with cool detailed patterns on top of the table is surrounded by woven rope armchairs from Williams Sonoma. The light grey rope and oak wood legs provide a refreshing and boho vibe against the lush greenery.

The structure has cedar columns and beams. The vaulted ceiling is stained tongue and groove and really gives the space a very open feel. Special details include the cedar braces under the bar top counter, carriage lights on the columns and directional lights along the sides of the ceiling. Click Photography
