Finding the perfect balance between modern and classic architectural design was key to this stunning outdoor living environment in The Woodlands, Texas. The more traditional elements are featured in the dark stained wood beams used for the pergola lining the length of the pool and the covered patio with outdoor kitchen. Contemporary elements were also used to complete this transitional backyard space. These include the half-moon shape of the attached spa and the light colored natural stone pool and patio decking used throughout the space. Even the decorative light fixture from Restoration Hardware was careful selected and effortlessly marries the two design looks. This luxurious lighting element is durable for the humid Houston weather and highlights the tongue-and-groove ceiling detailing of the covered outdoor patio. This ceiling also features a custom blue-gray wash further fusing this transitional space together. Adjacent to the multi-use entertaining and dining area is the outdoor kitchen with grill, Big Green Egg and more to create the perfect smoked brisket or family meal. Encompassing this exquisite covered patio and water shape is immaculate landscaping with stone walkways, rock paths and flower beds.
