The steep gable roof design of this custom sunroom allows for more ceiling height and, in turn, taller windows to enhance the airy, open feel of the room.

This backyard patio created the ultimate hang out space for these homeowners in Gloucester, VA. Designed and installed by out owner, Jon Herlong, it's strategically designed to expand their outdoor living spaces so they can enjoy being poolside and have a separate space dedicated to their outdoor kitchen.

The original multiple decks and elevated patio blocked the pool and fractured the space. This design creates an elegant progression from the home’s interior to poolside. The wide stairs oriented towards the pool provide pool views from the entire deck. The interior level provides for relaxed seating and dining with the magnificence of nature. The descent of a short group of stairs leads to the outdoor kitchen level. The barbeque is bordered in stone topped with a countertop of granite. The outdoor kitchen level is positioned for easy access midway from either the pool or interior level. From the kitchen level an additional group of stairs flow down to the paver patio surrounding the pool. Also incorporated is a downstairs entry and ample space for storage beneath the deck sourced through an access panel. The design connects the interior to poolside by means of a rich and functional outdoor living design.

Techo-Bloc materials were utilized throughout, as well as locally manufactured copper lighting and LED wall lighting. This project began just before Thanksgiving, and continued until the end of the year. Construction of the patio resumed in March, and landscaping was completed in May after installation of pool fence and a custom designed cedar arbor. All the pillars and retaining walls received a custom tiered cap, adding more architectural detail to this masterpiece of an outdoor living space!
