Rear exterior facade of a large white clapboard house with black window
A rear residential elevation featuring crisp white siding, dark-framed glazing, and an expansive timber pergola bridging the interior to a poolside patio.
- What we like about this project
- The pergola seamlessly extends across multiple structural breaks of the stepped rear facade, unifying disparate volumes.
