When it comes to outdoor living, nothing beats a personalized space that blends comfort, function, and visual harmony. For these homeowners, a spacious backyard held untapped potential. Their dream? A resort-inspired retreat for relaxing, cooking, and entertaining—all without leaving home. By teaming up with TCP Custom Outdoor Living and their pool company, they transformed that vision into a multi-functional paradise just steps from their backdoor.

The Original Client Vision

The homeowners imagined a backyard oasis that would feel like an extension of their home—equal parts luxurious and livable. They wanted space to host friends, enjoy family movie nights under the stars, prepare meals al fresco, and relax poolside in comfort and style. The result needed to be cohesive and elegant while offering practical zones for different activities.

The Custom Outdoor Solution

To bring that vision to life, TCP Custom Outdoor Living coordinated with the pool company to align the layout of the new pool and covered patio. Once the pool was in place, TCP poured approximately 660 square feet of fresh concrete, setting the stage for the real centerpiece: a 490-square-foot patio cover designed with both beauty and utility in mind.

The gabled roofline and vaulted ceiling mirror the home’s existing architecture, creating a seamless flow from indoors to out. The ceiling is finished in warm, pre-stained tongue and groove RealSoffit Fine Line panels in English Porter, offering a natural wood texture that elevates the entire atmosphere with a sense of rustic elegance.

Underfoot, large-format 16×32 La Reverse Dune Carved tiles from Thorntree create a sophisticated foundation. Their subtle texture and neutral tone lend a contemporary yet timeless aesthetic—perfect for transitioning between lounging, dining, and grilling zones.

Outdoor Kitchen: The Culinary Hub

A major highlight of this outdoor space is the expansive 13-foot L-shaped kitchen—a dream setup for the outdoor chef. Wrapped in STB chopped Blanco stone from Rock Materials, the kitchen offers a crisp, handcrafted appearance that contrasts beautifully with the polished stainless steel appliances.

The surface is topped with Adonis White granite from Daltile, its light tones and natural veining catching the evening light as effortlessly as the morning sun. The kitchen comes fully equipped with premium RCS appliances from Cunningham Living, including a 38” Cutlass Pro grill, a powerful side burner, an outdoor-rated refrigerator, a dry pantry, and plenty of built-in storage—ensuring everything needed for cooking and entertaining is always within reach.

Comfort Meets Entertainment

Beyond the kitchen, the patio opens up into distinct zones for relaxation and connection. One side features a cozy lounge area centered around a sleek, portable fire pit framed in smooth stone and surrounded by plush, navy-hued swivel chairs—perfect for unwinding with a glass of wine or catching up over late-night conversation.

On the opposite side, a dining area offers comfortable seating for six beneath the shelter of the soaring cedar-toned ceiling. Overhead, recessed lighting and a large modern ceiling fan keep the space bright and breezy, day or night.

And just a few steps beyond? A sparkling pool framed by manicured landscaping, inviting loungers, and vibrant planters—creating the ultimate backdrop for sun-drenched afternoons or tranquil evenings.
