Exterior and Outdoor Living

The homeowners wanted to replace their existing deck with a true outdoor living destination that would take advantage of their wooded property. They envisioned a lodge-inspired retreat featuring multiple outdoor gathering spaces, a covered porch with a see-through fireplace, and durable materials that would blend naturally with the home’s surroundings while providing year-round enjoyment. 

Hurst Design Build Remodel designed a multi-level outdoor living addition that combines covered and open-air spaces into one cohesive retreat. The project includes a covered porch, upper sun deck, lower deck, see-through wood-burning fireplace, cedar architectural details, and low-maintenance decking. Every element was carefully selected to complement the home’s architecture while creating comfortable spaces for entertaining, dining, and relaxing outdoors. 

• Genovations PVC decking on the covered porch, upper sun deck, lower deck, and stairs 

• Dutch Quality cultured stone fireplace with a see-through wood-burning design 

• James Hardie exterior siding 

• Simonton windows 

• CertainTeed roofing 

• Cedar wrapped beams, columns, and tongue and groove porch ceiling 

• Skylights bringing natural light into the covered porch 

• Trex railing system with integrated post cap and riser lighting 

• Custom under deck storage with concealed access doors 

• Concrete walkways connecting the outdoor living spaces

The completed outdoor living addition creates a rustic retreat that feels perfectly at home within its natural surroundings. The combination of multiple deck levels, a dramatic see-through fireplace, premium low-maintenance materials, and lodge-inspired architectural details provides the homeowners with a versatile outdoor space designed for entertaining and relaxing throughout the seasons.
