In 2004, we designed the home. In 2024, we added a shed and finalized the outdoor living spaces that complete the backyard’s master plan. The 90 SF shed provides essential storage for tools and sports equipment while establishing a backdrop for a fire pit area. Clad in variegated cedar siding, it anchors the southeast corner of the yard. Sliding barn doors conceal interior and exterior storage, while a projecting steel angle supports a rolling track that extends beyond the shed to screen outdoor equipment.

Adjacent to the dining room, a covered porch creates a cozy outdoor room, visually connected to the interior. Its edge is defined by a narrow steel planter that integrates an outdoor gas fireplace. Steel stairs descend from the porch to the backyard, linking the outdoor areas.
