The outdoor entertaining area ends with custom wood burning fireplace with built-in storage and a cedar pergola.
The patio is paved with full range bluestone that is bordered by natural clay bricks. The bricks also form an inlaid pattern, helping to define the separate spaces within the patio.

Stunning outdoor covered kitchen with top of the line Lynx Barbeque and stainless steel appliances. Built-in bar has durable Dekton counter tops. Wall mounted TV and a ceiling fan to keep away bugs makes this the perfect backyard / poolside entertainment spot.
Blending a modern sensibility with traditional architecture, this garden features a front yard meadow with native grasses (Carex praecracilis) and wildflowers. Poured-in-place concrete pavers in a meandering pattern slow the approach from the sidewalk to the entry. The modestly-sized backyard has been maximized for entertaining with outdoor dining and lounging areas and subtle landscape lighting. Native plants, herbs, and edibles share the back garden beds, and a raised pond brings the garden to life.

Keep outdoor lighting subtle. Soft glows and warm washes of light are much more inviting than overly bright spotlights. Ditch the harsh area lights and replace them with understated, warm-toned lights. Outside this Southern California cottage, a light hung from the tree overhead illuminates an outdoor table, an uplight casts a glow up the side of the house, and a pair of floor lanterns provides an inviting glow. - skylightssolar20

The raised back patio is just two steps down from the great room/kitchen. On the left is the mudroom which links the house to the garage and home theater. Just out of view is an outdoor fireplace.
The mesh openness factor determines the amount of heat, light, and air that enters a room. A more open fabric allows the breeze and heat to enter the living space, while tighter meshes block more sunlight and keep the space cooler.
