What are the elements of a dreamy outdoor living space that are most important to you? For a pair of homeowners in Johnson County, it was designing a space that would not only accommodate their guests when entertaining, but also make it spacious and inviting enough to be enjoyed both from the deck outside their breakfast nook and from the ground on the the lush landscape of their sprawling backyard.

The resulting 1,700-square-foot transformation, as envisioned by Outdoor Environments, is a “cozy outdoor alcove with more than enough amenities,” according to an article in Kansas City Homes & Gardens. Those bells and whistles include an outdoor kitchen equipped with a grill, searing plates, refrigerator and beverage trough; a gas fire pit, wishing well, and four-season screened-in living area with radiant-heat tile flooring, flat-screen TV and floor-to-ceiling windows.
