Challenges & How We Solved Them

Keep interiors bright while adding shade.
The owner wanted shade without the “room-darkening” feel. We recommended open lattice instead of a solid roof to maintain light inside the sliding-door area while cutting heat and glare outdoors.

Protect garden flow and sightlines.
Landscaping flanks the patio on three sides. We aligned the post spacing to preserve walking paths, garden access, and views across the yard.

Match a modern exterior palette.
We selected a dark, wood-look finish and a squared fascia profile that pairs with board-and-batten siding for a cohesive, modern look.
