modern outdoor living in austin texas

The focus for this project was to add outdoor living areas to this modern craftsman house. The steel pergola structure doubles to provide cover for the built in sunken seating and dining areas of the floating ipe deck. The conversation pit includes bright red outdoor cushions for a pop of color and comfort. The 14' fire and water feature starts at the center stone structure and continues along the perimeter of the outdoor living area. The stone structure contains a TV within a sealed steel box with a custom hinged steel door to provide protection to the TV. We also designed and built the outdoor dining table, dining stools and coffee table. A small grilling nook right outside the back door provides a great space for the BBQ grill with easy access to the indoor kitchen. photo by angela valek
