Peek Over The Fence: Outdoor Living Spaces You Have to See

Vacations are wonderful. Resorts have their appeal. When we work with clients who want to enjoy living la dolce vita, we listen intently to how they want to feel, what they want to offer guests, what means ease and enjoyment to them. The results are as individual as the homeowners.

Here is a peek at three family homes with outdoor areas that are vacation-worthy every day of the year. Cheers to that.

All the Fun, In the Rain or Sun

Careful listening gave us the cue to create a covered space for year-round comfort.

Our clients in Bryn Mawr love being outdoors as much as possible so their space features a screened room that is warmed by ceiling heaters in the cooler months and open to the fresh air on more temperate days. Of utmost importance: an outdoor chef’s kitchen where the homeowners can whip up a myriad of treats and a suitable outdoor TV area where big games are shown on the weekends. This area, along with the adjacent patio, has become a prime gathering spot.  Whether it’s family get-togethers with their adult children or gourmet grilled meals with guests, these outdoor rooms are the go-to for good times.

The cook is never away from the guests with the outdoor kitchen situated just steps from the dining area and all the entertaining action.
What’s more enchanting than cozying up around a fire? This fire pit area throws some seriously snuggly vibes regardless of the season. S’mores optional.

Take the Party to the Patio

Expansive seating options are just part of the fun for this family. The luxurious loungers at the top of this article sit on the adjacent pool deck.

Classic exterior architecture gave us the backdrop for some sleeker, more modern outdoor furnishings for our client in Chestnut Hill. A huge stone fireplace and hearth anchor the upper level where seating and dining are housed. The adjacent pool area has a distinct Euro-luxe feel so we opted for modern loungers to enhance the feel.

Aprés swim or just relaxing in the sun, you’re on vacay time all the time.

Leave Your Worries at the Door

After a day of work or WFH, here’s where to unwind and enjoy.

Being fully at ease is what our homeowners in Wayne desire from their outdoor spaces. Once across the threshold you can luxuriate in deep-cushioned seating or enjoy the casual comfort at the outdoor eating area. We enhanced the pool area with additional umbrella-covered dining and sun loungers. Tropically-inspired prints in cooling blues against crisp white evoke joyful days and balmy nights gazing out over beautiful waters.

Ready for some serious relaxation, our homeowners now have a kick-back spot to enjoy friends, swim or even catch a quick summer-warmth-induced snooze.
