Westlake Pool and Outdoor Dining

Exterior and Outdoor Living

About This Project

The Homeowner's Challenge

The homeowners wanted to transform their backyard into a true outdoor entertaining destination centered around their pool. They envisioned a covered patio that would provide shade and protection from the elements, an outdoor kitchen for hosting family and friends, and comfortable dining and gathering spaces that would make spending time outside just as enjoyable as being indoors. 

Hurst's Approach

Hurst Design Build Remodel designed a covered outdoor living space that blends functionality with resort-style comfort. The project features a custom outdoor kitchen, a covered dining area with skylights, an expanded patio, and carefully selected exterior finishes that complement the existing home. Every element was planned to create a seamless connection between the house, pool, and outdoor entertaining areas while maximizing durability and ease of maintenance.
