Sunroom - modern sunroom idea in Boston

Views from the back doors of the modern California home frame the pool and landscape beyond. A wood deck (change in material) and step up defines the adjacent outdoor dining area. Shifted scoring in the concrete paving recalls large scale stone pavers.

In the foreground the swimming pool is surrounded by natural stone to create a very calm and blue- gray palette. Stone steps defined by board form concrete wall access the main terrace of the back yard. The outdoor dining deck is on the right with an upper path to the left. The hot tub and cold plunge were given close access to the pool to navigate between the different temperatures easily. A variety of blue, and chartreuse plants create an interesting 'green' garden palette.
