Shade structures should fit the house.
Pergolas and pavilions work best when they are scaled correctly. We plan shade, posts, furniture, lighting, and the patio below as one outdoor room.
Shade structures work best when they are scaled to the home and anchored to the hardscape plan. We consider sun path, sight lines, furniture zones, and future lighting or kitchen needs.
Before the structure is sized, we look at the sun path, furniture, post locations, views, lighting, and whether the patio below is ready for it.

- Pavilions
- Covered outdoor living zones
How we approach it
Keep the plan clear before work starts.
Most good outdoor projects come down to the same basics: the right location, the right scale, good drainage, and details that fit the home. We keep those decisions visible early, so the finished work feels intentional instead of pieced together.
Size the structure around the patio and furniture layout.
Plan sun, views, lighting, and future features early.
Use the structure to make the space feel finished, not crowded.
