The patio under a proper roof
Published
A large transitional detached house, conceived for Houston suburbs, TX.
The useful part of this patio begins with the roof. It reaches far enough to keep the chairs in shade, while a separate strip of paving takes people from the kitchen to the garden. The sitting group can therefore stay put. White cushions lighten the substantial teak frames; emerald doors give the brick wall a little conviction.
See the product sourcesTHE DESIGN
The roof reaches beyond the wall to shelter a complete sitting group. Its depth matters more than decorative details at the edge: the chairs belong within the shade, and the route to the garden remains separate. Cooking takes place beyond that covered group.
Kuba seating gives the patio enough weight to stand against brick and large emerald doors. White cushions keep the frames from reading as one dark mass. The square table repeats their straightforward shape without requiring a rug to gather them.
WHY THE ROOM WORKS
Deep shade and a generous path make the patio a living room instead of a hot strip beside the house.

WHAT TO BORROW
Check where the shade falls on a seated person, not just on the paving.

Kuba Teak Outdoor Coffee Table
