we don’t need the house to be built before we start the design. 

What happens here

Focus on the upper-level outdoor living space for the backyard, which includes a deck and a covered pavilion. This design phase involves determining the optimal size, shape, and materials for the deck structure, ensuring it provides ample space for activities. Simultaneously, design a pavilion to provide shade and shelter, considering its roof structure and integration with the house's architecture. Plan the placement of outdoor furniture for dining and relaxation.

Goal: Create a functional and shaded upper outdoor living area in the backyard.
