Inspiration for a large coastal beige two-story wood house exterior remodel in Boston with a shingle roof

Every day is a vacation in this Thousand Oaks Mediterranean-style outdoor living paradise. This transitional space is anchored by a serene pool framed by flagstone and elegant landscaping. The outdoor living space emphasizes the natural beauty of the surrounding area while offering all the advantages and comfort of indoor amenities, including stainless-steel appliances, custom beverage fridge, and a wood-burning fireplace. The dark stain and raised panel detail of the cabinets pair perfectly with the El Dorado stone pulled throughout this design; and the airy combination of chandeliers and natural lighting produce a charming, relaxed environment.

This project features a complete outdoor living upgrade designed for both beauty and functionality. The custom hardscape patio showcases patterned concrete, creating a durable yet visually striking foundation for entertaining. A built-in grill station anchors the space, making outdoor cooking effortless and inviting. An automatic screened-in patio adds year-round comfort, offering protection from insects while maintaining an open-air feel. The backyard was finished with low-maintenance turf, bordered by elegant stone-edged flower beds that add structure and natural contrast. To complete the transformation, a new 8-foot cedar board-on-board privacy fence was installed, paired with a sleek electric sliding gate across the driveway for added security and modern curb appeal.

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
