Since timber framed pergolas seem to be trending out there right now, we thought we'd share this stunning recent example - a Pergola erected at our client's Sussex home.
This project has truly brought our client's vision of outdoor living to life. It's not just about having a nice garden anymore; it's about extending our living space and creating an outdoor room that's as comfortable and inviting as any indoor space. There's something magical about creating an outdoor space that seamlessly blends comfort, style, and nature.
When he moved his young family to this beautiful little flint cottage in Sussex, our client knew they'd be enjoying a fantastic view, but nothing prepared them for the magical sunsets over the weald that make it look almost Serengeti-like on a hot sunny day. The little area of grass in front of the house next to a small fish, pond, complete with hot tub, was just crying out for a dreamy Pergola with its own outdoor bar.
They chose oak for its durability, rich grain, and timeless appeal and knowing that this sturdy structure would not only provide the perfect framework for a bar and grill area but also add an architectural element that elevates the entire garden.
The pergola provides just enough shelter to make outdoor cooking and entertaining possible in various weather conditions, extending their ability to enjoy the garden throughout the year.
Adjacent to the pergola, they installed a decking area that's quickly become their go-to spot for weekend barbecues and evening cocktails. The deck offers an unparalleled view of the South Downs, providing a front-row seat to some of the most spectacular sunsets we've ever seen. It's the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine after a long day.
To add a touch of whimsy and create a warm ambiance, they've adorned the pergola and tree with festoon lights. As the sun sets, these lights create a soft, inviting glow, transforming the outdoor space into a cozy retreat. It's a place where they can cook, dine, relax, and entertain, all while being surrounded by nature and taking in breathtaking views.
"Whether hosting a lively barbecue under the twinkling lights of the pergola, enjoying a quiet evening on the deck watching the sunset, or lounging on the day bed with a good book, our new outdoor area has dramatically enhanced our lifestyle and our enjoyment of our home," says our client. "If you're considering a similar project, I can't recommend it enough. It's an investment in your property, sure, but more importantly, it's an investment in countless moments of joy, relaxation, and connection with nature and loved ones. Here's to many sunny days and starry nights in our new outdoor paradise!"
