A Movie Producer’s touch of BOHE Chic
This design brings the perfect blend of BOHE style and Zen tranquility in a stunning landscape transformation. Artistic metalwork complements the new architecture, adding elegance and screening from neighbors. The design features a versatile black powder coated aluminum pergola with decorative privacy screens and light gray retractable sails over the main deck, providing optimum flexibility for lounging and dining, as well as a separate outdoor kitchen, custom built with Corten steel, and away from the main flow but nicely sociable and connected to the other spaces. Strip LED, low voltage landscape lighting, and decorative lighting features on the exterior walls, deck and tables provide the finishing touches. Two further serene Zen seating areas, one with a sculptural water feature, the other concealed for discovery by those that search, lead to a further hidden treasure at the back of the yard, where a large fire bowl is surrounded by seating boulders, trees and grasses for the full enjoyment of our clear Colorado starry nights!
