Cedar, steel and stone structures that give the pool shade, shelter and architecture.
A pergola or pavilion gives the backyard a roof of its own. It shades the table, frames the view and adds a sense of place that open lawn cannot. It also protects furniture, grills and screens, and makes a patio comfortable for more days of the year.
We design the structure to match the house and the pool, with the right scale, posts, beams and roof. Open slat roofs, louvered roofs and solid roofs all have a place, and lighting, fans, heaters and screens can be built in.
An open roof gives dappled shade, a louvered roof lets you adjust light and rain, and a solid roof gives full cover. We discuss each so you choose the right one.
A structure that is too small looks like an afterthought, and one that is too big overwhelms the yard. We draw it to scale with the house and the pool.
Fans, lights, heaters and drop screens make the space usable at any hour. We plan wiring and mounting from the start.
Roofs catch wind, and footings and connections must be sized for it. We design the structure so it stands up in real weather.
