Project Spotlight: Picturesque Patio Remodel and Upper Deck Addition

Project Spotlight: Picturesque Patio Remodel and Upper Deck Addition

Welcome to the tour of Copper Sky Design + Remodel’s latest and greatest remodeling project in Ansley Park. This family's backyard was transformed with the addition of a screened-in patio and brand-new upper deck, making it the perfect place for relaxation and entertaining family and friends. Our team of experts turned this outdoor area into a modern oasis with a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. During this spotlight, homeowners will see how the old and the new have been merged to create something truly unique and custom to meet the needs of this family.

Project Overview: A Backyard Oasis Come to Life

This renovation transformed a home's modest patio into a versatile but elegant outdoor living space where family and friends can gather. Our team worked with the family’s vision to connect the interior, exterior, pool, and second floor seamlessly, resulting in a spectacularly beautiful and modern outdoor hangout.

A few key enhancements went into creating the sleek and stunning remodel. The installation of retractable screens and vinyl panels to enclose the patio add protection from the elements. Magnificent accordion steel doors were added to integrate the indoor and outdoor spaces. The space also underwent a few carefully implemented key structural upgrades. These included steel beams to allow for an expansive opening, and a custom ceiling to disguise electrical components for the motorized screens.

Other added structural and design elements include a spiral staircase leading to a newly added second-story deck. To maximize the use of their new patio and upper deck, the family also opted to install a wide range of entertaining features and customizable elements, such as light-changing LED lights and gas lanterns to set the right mood for any occasion. 

The Client’s Priorities for Their Patio Remodel

When the family initially spoke to our team at Copper Sky Design + Remodel, their main priority was an improved entertainment area with more connection between their interior, exterior, pool, and second-floor spaces. 

Since the family is passionate about spending time with others and fostering familial relationships and friendships, they needed these spaces to connect seamlessly and provide a safe and luxurious outdoor area for rest, relaxation, and fun. 

The Project Construction Challenges

The home's weathered pergola was one of the initial challenges the remodeling team faced. This pergola was dismantled and removed carefully, as it had the potential to disrupt and damage surrounding areas. 

Another challenge was to enlarge the living room opening and create a space big enough to accommodate beautiful accordion steel doors. Our construction team made precise structural modifications to ensure the home maintained its structural integrity. 

There were also custom design elements that proved challenging, but nothing Copper Sky Design + Remodel couldn’t handle. Since the family wanted the porch area covered, the design team specially designed the porch ceiling to house the motorized screens discreetly and the electrical components properly and safely.

This remodel focused on creating seamless indoor-outdoor living, so our team needed to add structural support with steel beams. This required careful engineering of the spaces to ensure everything from the beam weight and dimensions to the porch and upper deck design was considered. Through careful planning, these beams were installed without a hitch.

Other challenges involved installing a spiral staircase leading to the upper deck and integrating various entertainment features. These were addressed to ensure the end result was exactly what the family wanted. 

Design and Material Selection Highlights

The expertise of our team at Copper Sky Design + Remodel’s is evident in the material and design choices made for this renovation. The expanded and newly improved patio area boasts an elevated aesthetic thanks to the installation of retractable screens surrounding the patio with its custom designed ceiling. 

The vinyl paneling that protects against the outdoors is a nice touch to keep summertime inconveniences like pests at bay. The steel beams that support the upper deck and allow for unobstructed views of the gorgeous pool and the elegant backyard alongside the spiral staircase leading to the upper deck add class and character to the space.

The Great Outdoors: Outdoor and Patio Transformations

The moment anyone steps out onto the patio, they are enveloped by modern luxury and a cozy but relaxed atmosphere. The patio and outdoor areas, including the upper deck, are functional and perfect for entertaining. We carefully considered the family's goals and the existing structures to create something new and unique. 

The Upper Deck

With the addition of a spiral staircase leading to a new upper deck, this gives the family access from the upstairs bedrooms to the beautiful views of their backyard. This deck spans the width of the home and is a serene spot for soaking up the sun or relaxing with a nice book while overlooking the pool. The deck features a cable railing adorned with sophisticated copper post caps.

Since the family also prioritized privacy on the upper deck, we installed aesthetically pleasing louvered wooden privacy screens for at the end of the deck. This contributed to the upper deck's luxurious design while granting the family a viable deck privacy solution. The use of Thermory decking ensures the deck is resistant to the elements and remains durable for years to come.

The Porch

The family wanted their porch to be a place of congregation without sacrificing luxury and stylistic preferences. The Copper Sky team worked within their vision while guiding toward what would work best in the current space. 

The porch is the perfect example of what can happen when clients and builders collaborate. The custom designed ceiling offers a clean and uncluttered appearance, and all the electrical components and motorized screening were hidden safely. 

With the expansion of the living room opening and the addition of sleek steel accordion doors leading to the patio, an open space that flows from the indoors to the outdoors was created, giving the home the perfect integration with the gorgeous backyard.

Entertainment Additions

Given the homeowners' joy for entertaining, this design included the installation of outdoor speakers and color-changing LED lights on the porch ceiling and upper deck railings. The LED lights allow for a customizable ambiance, enabling the homeowners to set the perfect mood for any occasion. Additionally, gas lanterns were added to the porch beams, casting a romantic glow over the pool area, and enhancing the atmosphere for evening gatherings.
