Westlake Modern Porch Lounge and Bar

Exterior and Outdoor Living

About This Project

The Homeowner's Challenge

The homeowners wanted to transform their existing deck into a sophisticated outdoor living space that could be enjoyed throughout the seasons. They envisioned a covered porch with a comfortable lounge area, a custom serving bar, integrated entertainment features, and a design that blended seamlessly with the architecture of their Westlake home while creating the perfect place to gather with family and friends. 

Hurst's Approach

Hurst Design Build Remodel designed a modern covered porch that combines comfortable seating, outdoor entertaining, and premium finishes into one cohesive outdoor living environment. The project features a custom bar with limestone countertops, a television feature wall, built-in storage, radiant heating, and durable, low-maintenance materials throughout. Every detail was selected to create a year-round destination for relaxing, dining, and entertaining.
