Design Inspiration: Roof Openings

It’s been a while since we wrote up a Design Inspiration blog post. We typically like to keep our design inspiration posts coordinated with the season that we post them. Since it’s summertime we wanted to think of a detail that we’ve designed for our projects that really shines during the summer months. In prior summer posts, we’ve shared design inspiration for pool courtyards, pool houses, and outdoor kitchens. For this post we will highlight the openings we sometimes design into our flat roof projects – and some design inspiration to pair with it.
