The Room Without Walls: Custom Outdoor Living
Blur the lines between inside and out. Create a backyard destination designed for entertaining, relaxing, and making memories.
For too long, the backyard was treated as an afterthought—a place for a simple patio slab and a lawnmower. But modern living demands more. We crave connection with nature without sacrificing comfort. We want to host dinner parties under the stars and enjoy our morning coffee in the fresh air, regardless of the season.
At skön Design Build, we approach outdoor spaces with the same architectural rigor as your interior. We don’t just build decks; we create seamless transitions that extend your square footage and enhance your lifestyle.
The Art of Indoor-Outdoor Flow
The hallmark of a luxury home is the ability to open the back doors and have the living space double in size. We specialize in creating that effortless flow.
Whether it involves installing expansive bi-fold or multi-slide door systems, leveling thresholds for a flush transition, or matching interior flooring with exterior pavers, our goal is to make the outdoors feel like a natural extension of your living room.
"Your property doesn't end at the back door. We design outdoor environments that draw you out, creating functional, beautiful spaces you’ll use year-round."
Elevate Your Al Fresco Experience
We design and build structural outdoor elements that withstand the elements while looking refined.
1. Designer Outdoor Kitchens
Step beyond the standalone BBQ. We design fully integrated culinary zones featuring built-in grills, pizza ovens, beverage fridges, and weather-resistant cabinetry. With durable granite or concrete countertops, your outdoor kitchen becomes the center of every summer gathering.
2. All-Season Covered Structures
Don’t let the weather dictate your plans. Living in a climate with variable weather means you need protection. We build custom architectural coverings—from timber-frame pavilions and pergolas with retractable canopies to permanent roof extensions. Integrated with infrared heaters and ceiling fans, these spaces remain comfortable from early spring through late autumn.
3. Custom Decks & Hardscaping
The foundation of a great outdoor space is what is underfoot. We work with premium materials including exotic hardwoods, composite decking, and natural stone pavers. We engineer multi-level decks that define different "zones" for dining, lounging, and sunbathing.
4. Fire & Light
Ambiance is everything. We integrate gas or wood-burning fire pits and outdoor fireplaces that serve as a focal point for conversation. Combined with a strategic landscape lighting plan—illuminating steps, trees, and architectural features—we ensure your space is magical after the sun goes down.
Integrated Design, Superior Build
Why hire a Design-Build firm for your outdoor space instead of a landscaper? Integration.
An outdoor living project often requires electrical work, gas lines, structural engineering, and permitting. Because skön Design Build manages the entire home, we ensure these systems are integrated correctly with your main house. We handle the permits for structures and ensure that drainage and grading are executed perfectly to protect your home’s foundation.
We view your property as a single, cohesive entity. The architecture of your home should speak the same language as your garden structures.
Your Private Resort Awaits
You shouldn’t have to go on vacation to relax. Transform your backyard into a private sanctuary where you can unplug and recharge.
Let’s bring your vision to life.
