OFF THE GRID

Memorial Day Patios

Opening off the living and family rooms, and with close proximity to the pool, this protected loggia is a comfortable gathering place. The gray tones utilized inside are reflected in outdoor furnishings by McKinnon and Harris, all from Hive. A gray grid that matches the home’s shutters functions as a living wall. Ceramic garden stools by Made Goods serve as cocktail tables; the light fixtures are by The Urban Electric Co.

OUTDOOR LIVING

This great porch answered the homeowners’ request for an extended covered patio for all-weather entertaining. The custom bed is by Hernandez Custom Upholstery, with Richard Schultz for Knoll chairs from Scott + Cooner and a Terry Hunziker for Sutherland console from David Sutherland. The outdoor fireplace is from Earthcore.

THE OCEAN BLUES

This covered patio’s nautical design, with plenty of blue and white throughout, is a nod to the home’s location as well as to the design of the home’s interiors by Jackie Armour.

PATIO WITH A VIEW

WALK WITH ME

Memorial Day Patios

NEIGHBOR’S ENVY

Hanging lanterns by Steven Handelman Studios in Santa Barbara suspend from above.

THE PRIVATE GETAWAY

Separate from the main house, this private pavilion is perfectly sited amongst its natural surroundings.

WITHSTANDING THE ELEMENTS

Memorial Day Patios

The loggia’s sofa and chairs from Inside/Out Showrooms withstand the elements thanks to Sunbrella fabric. The carved details of the cocktail and sofa tables purchased at Tierra Del Lagarto perfectly suit the home’s collected theme.

LONG ISLAND ICED TEAS, ANYONE?

Memorial Day Patios

Open-weave furniture by Patricia Urquiola for Kettal suits the breezy loggia, including a Mesh sofa and woven Maia chairs. A coffee table, also by Kettal, joins the setting on a rug by Ralph Lauren Home. RH pendants hang over the outdoor kitchen beyond, and RH draperies lend a resort-like feel.

 

CUSTOM-MADE

Memorial Day Patios

A loggia and a custom fireplace fashioned from hand-carved imported limestone make the outdoor living and dining areas usable year-round. Comfortable seating from Restoration Hardware accented with Ralph Lauren pillows from Brandt’s gets a dose of elegance from an opulent Tara Shaw Maison cocktail table.

LET’S GO SUNBATHING

WOULD YOU LIKE BUTTER WITH YOUR CROISSANT?

SUNDAY GATHERINGS

OVERLOOKING THE WATERWAY

THE EXTENDED PATIO

Memorial Day Patios

Functioning as an extension of the family room, the loggia features the same sandstone flooring as the indoor space; it’s a material the owners found while traveling. Teak sofas and armchairs from Michael Taylor Designs form a conversation area with a Cache iron coffee table, while wicker chairs from The Wicker Works fashion another.

WHAT AN ARCH

Memorial Day Patios

Large arched openings, an iron chandelier from Rose Tarlow and a vintage pub sign over the fireplace from Antique Swan lend English Country style to the pool loggia. Local rough-hewn Granbury stone was hand-worked to achieve a refined look on the exterior of the house.

THE BARBECUE BAR

Memorial Day Patios

The loggia off the living room features a barbecue bar and a conversation area with outdoor furniture from Holly Hunt. Wood was incorporated into the ceiling, where it isn’t exposed to rain or sun.

THE SYMPOSIUM

Memorial Day Patios

A sofa and chairs from L’angolo Furniture & Art surround the Restoration Hardware fire pit on the loggia, while the tall planters, also from L’angolo, help delineate the gathering area from the pool, by A&G Concrete Pools.

MEDITERRANEAN VACATION
