Outdoor Living Space
Outdoor living spaces need to provide inviting areas to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
They should be warm and sunny in winter and provide shade from the hot sun in summer.
Ideally you want them to be connected to your interior living areas. If they are visible and accessible they'll be used and enjoyed more often.
This one is located at the front of the house, to catch the north sun, so it is given a formal treatment with columns to match the front entrance porch.
The proportions are designed to be generous to allow the comfortable arrangement of outdoor furniture, without being too large and overwhelming for the front facade of the home.
An adjustable louvre roof allows sun into the space in winter, and prevents the adjacent living room from being too dark. When shade or weather protection is required, the roof can be conveniently closed.
