Story

This modern farmhouse backyard features a specific interaction between house and outdoors to take advantage of the Michigan summers. In the summer, find your lounging on the tanning ledge in the custom pool. As things cool into fall spend time in the screened porch that extends itself well into the colder months with a fireplace and two overhead, infrared heaters. This outdoor space, designed for entertaining and family gatherings, connects to multiple levels of the home through the screened porch and the covered grilling area. Among the exterior living spaces, the outdoor grilling station, hot tub, stone fire pit, screened porch, and pool patio it is difficult to decide where time would be best spent.
