Designing an Outdoor Room in Jacksonville Beach

The roof. A gazebo, A-frame, single-slope patio extension or screen room, matched to the house.
Comfort. Ceiling fans for summer, heaters for cool evenings and screens for bugs.
Light for evenings. Ceiling lights, accent lights and step lights on dimmers.
Privacy. A wall or panels on the neighbor side.

Research in the Journal of Medical Entomology found that fan-generated wind strongly reduced mosquito catches, mainly by diluting the carbon dioxide and scents that draw them in, so a ceiling fan can help.

Before We Draw Your Jacksonville Beach Outdoor Living Room

Jacksonville Beach is its own city, with its own planning and permitting office separate from the City of Jacksonville. Isle of Palms and the inland neighborhoods have more room than the blocks near the ocean, so freestanding structures are easier to fit. Close neighbors make roof height and placement matter, so we check sightlines from next door as well as from your house.

Heaters for cool nights extend the season on both ends. Before we draw an outdoor living room in Jacksonville Beach, we check how the roof meets the house, what the focal wall is and whether screens are needed.

Fans cool people, not rooms: the breeze creates a wind-chill effect, according to ENERGY STAR.

Approvals and Permits in Jacksonville Beach

Most Jacksonville Beach streets don't have a big master association. Where one exists, we prepare its package along with the City's. For an outdoor room, review boards often want elevations, roofing colors and screen colors. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Permits at Jacksonville Beach come from the City's Planning and Development Department. Lot coverage is part of every structure and hardscape submittal. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
