The backyard lacked both shade and protection from the weather. A pergola over the patio and a shed-roof addition create more usable outdoor space while providing needed shelter. Each is carefully proportioned to feel integral to the existing architecture rather than added onto it. The project was developed from existing conditions through construction documentation.

The owners wanted a screened outdoor space that could be used throughout the year without losing the connection to the garden beyond. The new space sits beneath a shed roof carefully fitted below the existing gable, creating a sheltered extension of the home while preserving views and access to the landscape. The design was documented from existing conditions through construction drawings.

The original uncovered deck had reached the end of its life, and its layout no longer supported how the space was used. The replacement reworks the footprint into two distinct zones: a covered sitting area beneath a gable roof with an exposed timber truss, and an open section reserved for grilling. New framing, railing, and stairs complete the redesign, documented from existing conditions through construction drawings.
