Our clients came to us looking for a complete renovation of the rear facade of their Atlanta home and attached deck. Their wish list included a contemporary, functional design that would create spaces for various uses, both for small family gatherings and entertaining larger parties. The result is a stunning, custom outdoor living area with a wealth of options for relaxing and socializing.
The upper level of the gorgeous Trex deck is the central dining and entertaining area and includes a custom cantilevered aluminum pergola accented by cable railing along the edge of the deck. Adjacent to the pergola is a covered grill and prep area and gorgeous concrete fire table and floating wooden bench. The light brown custom cedar screen walls provide privacy along the landscaped terrace and compliment the warm hues of the decking.
As you step down to the lower deck you are welcomed by the peaceful sound of cascading water from the custom concrete water feature creating a Zen atmosphere for the entire deck. This feature is a gorgeous focal point from inside the house as well.
To define the different outdoor rooms and also provide passive seating opportunities, the steps have built-in recessed lighting so that the space is well-defined in the evening as well as the daytime. The landscaping is modern and low-maintenance and is composed of tight, linear plantings that feature complimentary hues of green and provides privacy from neighboring properties.
