A family of four in Metairie, Louisiana, had lived in their home for a while before they decided it was finally time to overhaul their backyard. The grassy plot, separated from the house by a small back porch, provided the homeowners with open outdoor space but offered few amenities and design features that encouraged them to get outside — and stay outside. Working with architect Nathan Fell, the homeowners transformed their backyard to include an enlarged back porch, a new pool and an open-air pavilion — and lots of room where they could be active with their kids and gather with other families. The design team balanced creating a beautiful space that would enhance their suburban home and support the family’s functional needs — but wouldn’t require too much maintenance.
