This home had a small patio cover that just was not big enough for their family. We had to figure out a solution for the upper windows as well as making sure they still had some uncovered space by the house for lounging in the sun.

Before

As you can see the home had 2 upper windows that needed to be removed in order to add on the gabled patio cover.

Adding the perfect space

The new patio cover with the high pitch and open gable really opened up the space. The herringbone pattern of bricks where the windows used to be is such a great look.

The fireplace

The fireplace is fully wrapped in travertine to match the existing pool coping. The light color really creates a great focal point. It is a 2-sided fireplace – giving heat to the open air dining area on the outside.

The outdoor kitchen

The kitchen is equipped with a grill, refrigerator, and storage. It has plenty of counter space. There is high top seating along the back side of the granite counter. The kitchen is faced with brick to match the home.

A final look

This covered space is 385 square feet. We redid the surface of the entire patio with a stamped overlay — including all of the area around the existing pool. The family now has the perfect space to enjoy their backyard.
