City Living, Cottage Feeling
We designed this backyard porch to capture the cozy comfort of cottage life within the city. Every material and detail, wood, glass, and light, was selected to create a warm, low-maintenance retreat for year-round enjoyment.
A Thoughtfully Porch Design Built for Connection
We reimagined this backyard space as a welcoming extension of home, designed for connection, relaxation, and effortless everyday use. Structural Douglas fir beams and tongue-and-groove cedar ceilings add natural warmth and texture, while decorative metal detailing and glass railings maintain an open, modern feel. Composite decking ensures long-term durability with minimal upkeep, and the design offers seamless access to the kitchen for easy outdoor dining and to the hot tub for year-round enjoyment.
We emphasized both cohesion and practicality, matching the porch’s roofline and shingles to the home, framing all deck edges for a refined finish, and integrating garden boxes, ground lighting, and a dropped section for accessibility. The result is a cozy yet elevated retreat that blends natural materials with smart design, delivering the peaceful feeling of a weekend getaway, right at home.
