Simmonds & Associates, Inc.This property has a wonderful juxtaposition of modern and traditional elements, which are unified by a natural planting scheme. Although the house is traditional, the client desired some contemporary elements, enabling us to introduce rusted steel fences and arbors, black granite for the barbeque counter, and black African slate for the main terrace. An existing brick retaining wall was saved and forms the backdrop for a long fountain with two stone water sources. Almost an acre in size, the property has several destinations. A winding set of steps takes the visitor up the hill to a redwood hot tub, set in a deck amongst walls and stone pillars, overlooking the property. Another winding path takes the visitor to the arbor at the end of the property, furnished with Emu chaises, with relaxing views back to the house, and easy access to the adjacent vegetable garden.

Keystone Custom DecksSporting a full renovation, this project went from outdated to timeless. Each area of the deck was
designed to create function and flow. Entering directly into the porch from the interior living room, it
extends the reach of the home, with its unique barreled ceiling, skylights & fireplace – you might find
yourself outside more than inside! Coming across the deck, there is a bar counter wide enough to fit the
whole family, and a kitchen to back it up! This is one of our coolest kitchens to date, with many features
to provide a full service one stop shop. Built in grill, Green Egg & flat top griddle, with storage & lighting
all around. The project also included a gorgeous entrance from the drive, and extensive regrading
around the bottom to give ample space for the patio.
Progressive Design BuildChallenge
This 2001 riverfront home was purchased by the owners in 2015 and immediately renovated. Progressive Design Build was hired at that time to remodel the interior, with tentative plans to remodel their outdoor living space as a second phase design/build remodel. True to their word, after completing the interior remodel, this young family turned to Progressive Design Build in 2017 to address known zoning regulations and restrictions in their backyard and build an outdoor living space that was fit for entertaining and everyday use.
The homeowners wanted a pool and spa, outdoor living room, kitchen, fireplace and covered patio. They also wanted to stay true to their home’s Old Florida style architecture while also adding a Jamaican influence to the ceiling detail, which held sentimental value to the homeowners who honeymooned in Jamaica.
Solution
To tackle the known zoning regulations and restrictions in the backyard, the homeowners researched and applied for a variance. With the variance in hand, Progressive Design Build sat down with the homeowners to review several design options. These options included:
Option 1) Modifications to the original pool design, changing it to be longer and narrower and comply with an existing drainage easement
Option 2) Two different layouts of the outdoor living area
Option 3) Two different height elevations and options for the fire pit area
Option 4) A proposed breezeway connecting the new area with the existing home
After reviewing the options, the homeowners chose the design that placed the pool on the backside of the house and the outdoor living area on the west side of the home (Option 1).
It was important to build a patio structure that could sustain a hurricane (a Southwest Florida necessity), and provide substantial sun protection. The new covered area was supported by structural columns and designed as an open-air porch (with no screens) to allow for an unimpeded view of the Caloosahatchee River. The open porch design also made the area feel larger, and the roof extension was built with substantial strength to survive severe weather conditions.
The pool and spa were connected to the adjoining patio area, designed to flow seamlessly into the next. The pool deck was designed intentionally in a 3-color blend of concrete brick with freeform edge detail to mimic the natural river setting. Bringing the outdoors inside, the pool and fire pit were slightly elevated to create a small separation of space.
Result
All of the desirable amenities of a screened porch were built into an open porch, including electrical outlets, a ceiling fan/light kit, TV, audio speakers, and a fireplace. The outdoor living area was finished off with additional storage for cushions, ample lighting, an outdoor dining area, a smoker, a grill, a double-side burner, an under cabinet refrigerator, a major ventilation system, and water supply plumbing that delivers hot and cold water to the sinks.
Because the porch is under a roof, we had the option to use classy woods that would give the structure a natural look and feel. We chose a dark cypress ceiling with a gloss finish, replicating the same detail that the homeowners experienced in Jamaica. This created a deep visceral and emotional reaction from the homeowners to their new backyard.
The family now spends more time outdoors enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of nature. Their professional lives allow them to take a trip to paradise right in their backyard—stealing moments that reflect on the past, but are also enjoyed in the present.

Garner HomesDesigned for year-round entertainment, our goal was to create a backyard retreat for unwinding and having fun with family and friends. Here, it’s easy to envision summer barbecues by the outdoor kitchen, warming yourself or making s’mores during the cooler months by the fire pit, or perfecting your short game on the personal putting green. In the evenings, imagine reclining on the second-floor balcony with a glass of wine in-hand and simply taking in the sunset and surrounding countryside.
Archadeck of AustinFor the deck of this outdoor living combination space, we used AZEK’s low-maintenance synthetic decking in the Island Oak color. We used that same decking material for the hot tub deck as well. The decks and the patio are all bordered with black Fortress iron railing.
Pu'uwai Design & ConstructionThe great room is equipped with sliding glass pocket doors opening to the sweeping lanai. Gray tile flooring through house and lanai create seamless indoor/outdoor living. The lanai is outfitted with the perfect teak couches and an indonesian swing bed, accented with pops of vibrant blue cushions.

The design of external living spaces is known as the 'Al Fresco' space design as it is called in Italian. 'Al Fresco' translates in 'the open' or 'the cool/fresh exterior'. Customizing a fully functional modern kitchen with all its highly customized amenities while disguising it into an old Mediterranean collaged stone pile.
The ease and cosiness of this outdoor Mediterranean cooking experience will evoke in most a feeling of euphoria and exultation that on only gets while being surrounded with the pristine beauty of nature. This powerful feeling of unison with all has been known in our early recorded human history thought many primitive civilizations as a way to get people closer to the ultimate truth. A very basic but undisputed truth and that's that we are all connected to the great mother earth and to it's powerful life force that we are all a part of...
