While strategizing their full backyard renovation, these homeowners were looking for a way to enjoy The Hamptons summers even during the hottest, buggiest times of year. A beautiful pool surrounded by patterned stonework set the stage for an outdoor lounge and kitchen protected by a StruXure smart pergola. The higher part of the two-level system sits over a seating area, decked out with a gas firepit and TV, with retractable screens on all four sides. This combination of screens and adjustable louvers helps maintain the perfect temperature, with the added benefit of keeping the space insect free. The other portion of the Pergola X is situated between the lounge and the pool house over an impressive outdoor kitchen. Granite countertops and a large grill are illuminated by downlights that are seamlessly embedded into the pergola beams. The addition of pendant lights and outdoor sconces directly onto the Pergola X posts and beams allowed the owners to customize the look even further. We think this backyard would be perfect for an HGTV show!
