Matching a Modern Home in Old Westham - The Gallery

Old Westham - Richmond, VA

Project Synopsis

Whether biking through trails, working in the yard, or simply lounging, these two busy doctors love to unwind outside. Unfortunately, their small existing patio only had enough room for a dining table and an extensive koi pond prevented its expansion. To create the additional outdoor space they wanted, the homeowners decided to make use of a small, difficult area that had been left open by the previous homeowner. This area was difficult to grow grass, always stayed wet and became a regular mess when their dog ran through it.

The resulting space is a stunning extension of the home and incredibly efficient use of a small space. This luxury room features a natural stone patio, outdoor kitchen, wood-burning outdoor fireplace, gas-burning fire boulder, as well as complementary landscape and lighting.
