This project was a targeted outdoor enhancement designed to solve a significant logistical challenge for a homeowner who frequently hosts large gatherings, transforming their backyard into a worry-free, multi-use space.

Problems

The large backyard, though ideal for events, was subject to unpredictable weather, creating recurring cost and inconvenience:

• Weather Dependency: The client frequently hosted large outdoor events that constantly required expensive tent rentals due to concerns about rain or excessive sun.

  
  

• Recurring Costs: The constant need for tent rentals represented a recurring, unnecessary expense.

Solution

The solution was the design and construction of a permanent, custom built structure that provided shelter without sacrificing natural light or nighttime ambiance:

• Custom Structure: A custom built covered pergola was created to provide year round shelter from rain and harsh sun.

  
  

• Light Integration: The structure was designed specifically to allow natural sunlight during the day and moonlight at night, preserving the desired outdoor atmosphere.

  
  

• Material Selection: The structure was constructed using a modern, visually striking blend of natural wood and black wood elements to fit the home's aesthetic.

Key Features

The design incorporated specific materials to achieve the perfect balance of coverage and light:

• Custom Built Pergola featuring natural and black wood elements.

  
  

• Clear Corrugated PVC Roof Panels to allow maximum natural light penetration while providing weather protection.

In Conclusion

The addition of the custom pergola successfully transformed the backyard into a fully functional event space. The homeowner achieved significant cost savings by eliminating tent rentals and gained better use of the backyard during the warm months, ultimately leading to an increase in the property value.
