Outdoor living
Outside, composed as part of home.
Structure, shade, enclosure, cooking and landscape coordinated as one complete setting for California life.
Begin with the life
The right outdoor room is not selected from a catalog.
Bring us the home, the site and the moments you want to make possible. We shape the architecture around all three—whether the answer connects directly to the house or creates a destination within the landscape.
Choose the relationship
Should the room continue the home—or create a place of its own?
Attached and freestanding describe how the new outdoor room belongs to the property.
01
Attached
Continue the architecture and daily movement of the home into the landscape.
Explore attached
02
Freestanding
Create a destination with its own purpose, perspective and sense of retreat.
Explore freestanding
Attached and freestanding establish where the room belongs. The systems below define how it responds, opens and supports life.
Add the performance
Then define how the room should perform.
Roof control, transparent enclosure and hospitality systems can stand alone or work together as one coordinated environment.
Compose the outdoor room
One environment. Several coordinated layers.
Begin with the architectural room, then add the control, enclosure and hospitality systems the setting requires.
Pergola
The primary outdoor room, proportioned to the home and organized around the way it will be lived in.
Explore pergolasLouvered roof
An adjustable control layer for light, airflow, changing weather and evening use—available within attached or freestanding relationships.
Explore louvered systemsSunroom
A more protected indoor-outdoor room that preserves daylight, view and the presence of the landscape.
Explore sunroomsGlass walls
A moving transparent boundary coordinated around the opening, threshold and view.
Explore glass wall systemsOutdoor kitchen
Cooking and hospitality placed where movement, views and conversation naturally meet.
Explore outdoor kitchensCoordination is the proof
A complete environment is resolved where systems meet.
The important details are not presented as a catalogue of finishes. They show how architecture, control and daily use remain connected.
The relationship is resolved first
Structure, alignment, circulation and water movement are considered where the outdoor room meets the property.
Performance without visual noise
Roof movement, lighting and optional controls are coordinated within one disciplined architectural line.
Systems meet at the edges
Enclosure, kitchen and perimeter conditions are reviewed as parts of the same room rather than later additions.
Components, performance and project responsibilities are confirmed during design and technical review.
Prepare the first conversation
Useful context, not a finished brief.
A few simple references let the first meeting focus on the right spatial relationship and systems.
-
01
The property
Share wide photos of the home, yard, connection points, pool edges and surrounding conditions.
-
02
The intended life
Describe the people, activities and hours the outdoor room should support.
-
03
The known conditions
Approximate dimensions, orientation, boundaries and any known site constraints are enough to begin.
Your site. Your way of living.
Begin with what you imagine.
Share photos, dimensions, inspiration—or simply the experience you want to create.
