This spring, NüPro had the pleasure of completing a remarkable outdoor living project in Summit County, Ohio. The clients envisioned a rustic retreat that seamlessly blended with their indoor living area, offering a sense of permanence and protection from the elements. The result? A spectacular outdoor room that exceeded their expectations.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living:
The project began with a deteriorating deck leading out from a bay patio door in the dining room. Our clients yearned for a more natural, inviting space where they could relax and entertain. The challenge lay in incorporating the existing patio door and creating a harmonious flow between the indoors and out.
A Unique Design Solution:
After careful consideration and collaboration, our team devised a unique design that transformed the space. The bay patio door and accompanying concrete steps became the focal point, clad in beautiful stonework.
From the ground up, the design is a testament to rustic elegance. A custom Ashlar Cut Slate stamped concrete patio sets the stage for the stunning outdoor room. Provia Drystack Stone pillars, fireplace, and an island create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The crowning jewel is a massive white oak timber frame structure with exposed yellow pine decking and ceiling, reminiscent of old-world craftsmanship.
Timeless Construction:
This timber frame structure is built using authentic mortise and tenon joinery, held together by wooden pegs – a technique echoing the time-honored traditions of barn building. To further personalize the space, the homeowners and our crew members inscribed their names, along with the names of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, on pegs that were then used in the construction. This unique touch adds a layer of meaning and creates a lasting legacy for future generations.
Thoughtful Details:
Completing the look are carefully chosen accents, including a fireplace mantel that echoes the timber frame's design, Provia accent stone caps, and locally sourced sandstone elements. Strategic accent lighting and radiant patio heaters create both warmth and visual appeal, extending the enjoyment of this outdoor haven into the crisp fall evenings.
