Indoor – Outdoor Design Inspiration : Modern Decks

Many design discussions with our clients begin with their desire to open up their home to the outdoors and focus on indoor-outdoor living.

Blending Indoor-Outdoor Living Space

Actually, writing this I realize we have homes all over the East Coast which are not really ideal climates for year-round “all about living outdoors”. Perhaps I should say we are lucky to have clients who love the outdoors and want to make the most of indoor-outdoor living. Shading the deck for summer in Tampa, or outdoor fireplaces and semi-enclosed decks for winter in the Northeast,  a little creativity with the design makes a big difference.

Modern design is very often about blending indoor and outdoor space: “Essentially the outdoors becomes your living room.”

Design Inspiration

One of the images below is a repeat from a previous post on Modern Courtyard Homes – I had to include it again because this image has been in my mind since we started working with a new client on her home in the Hudson Valley. As we began designing the site plan for her house and guest house, she told me that she wanted an expansive deck that connected the 2 – some covered space, some open, and the overall focus: “all about the outdoors.” While we brainstorm Modern Deck designs with our clients, as usual we’re sharing a few inspiring indoor-outdoor design images with you… Enjoy!
