Outdoor Living Room Design in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

Ponte Vedra Beach outdoor rooms you furnish and use like the inside of the house.

Most backyards have a patio. An outdoor living room has a ceiling, a focal wall and seating that stays out year-round. We design them for Ponte Vedra Beach homes so the structure, the lighting and the fireplace all serve how you gather.

Designing an Outdoor Room in Ponte Vedra 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.
Kitchen nearby. An outdoor kitchen within reach of the seating.
Pavers or stone floor. A floor that suits both the room and the patio around it.

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

Planning an outdoor living room in Ponte Vedra Beach

Gated and golf communities here, including Sawgrass Players Club, Marsh Landing and The Plantation, each run their own architectural review. Ponte Vedra Beach homes are often larger and older than Nocatee's, so many projects replace an aging pergola, deck or screen with something built to last. On fairway lots, columns are kept out of the main sightline to the course.

A wood ceiling with fans and soft lights is what makes a roof feel like a room. Before we draw an outdoor living room in Ponte Vedra Beach, we check how the roof meets the house, where fans and heaters mount and where the sun sets.

ENERGY STAR recommends running ceiling fans counterclockwise in summer for a cooling breeze.

Approvals and Permits in Ponte Vedra Beach

In Ponte Vedra Beach, nearly every community has an architectural review board, and the gated golf communities are known for careful reviews of materials and colors. Boards usually review the roof structure, its height and how it matches the house. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Near the beach, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Coastal Construction Control Line can add a state review for lots east of the line. We check your lot before we design. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.

Some of our recent work in Ponte Vedra Beach:

Seawalk: An A-frame gazebo and lanai extension with an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit, new pavers and lighting.
The Coves (Sawgrass Players Club): A cedar A-frame over-framed onto the house with a gable screen enclosure, a fireplace bar, ceiling fans, heaters and an outdoor TV.

Cedar A-frame over-frame, gable screen enclosure and fireplace bar, The Coves (Sawgrass Players Club)We demoed this backyard and started over. An expanded-view A-frame (gable) screen enclosure flows into a custom cedar A-frame we over-framed onto the house, with a second A-frame dormer to match the home, and large panoramic sliding doors open the living room straight to the lanai. Under the A-frame, a stained tongue-and-groove ceiling holds lights, ceiling fans, speakers and heaters. A white stucco linear fireplace with a TV above is flanked by shiplap privacy walls with lit shelves and a wet bar on each side, and a white stucco outdoor kitchen has a grill, storage and a level back bar. A French-pattern natural-stone deck and a fire bowl finish the space.
