The project of your new patio is based on two different kind of coverings for having a wide covered space and, at the same time, not reducing the light your house enjoys now.
To this purpose I advice to place a pergola at the corner of your house where just two windows will be affected by the structure.
Moreover to reduce even more the loss of light you can choose between three kind of coverings: removable/retractable cloth or a deciduous climber; in the finishings scheme you’ll find a photo of each solution for helping your decision, while the renders show the pergola with a wood roof.
Beside the pergola, in front of living room and kitchen, umbrellas will provide 344.45 square feet of shade, leaving you in complete freedom about using or not using them, according to the season.
Under the pergola I have placed the outdoor kitchen and big dining area, so if you have planned a party you won’t be obliged to postpone it if the weather turns to rain.
The layout of kitchen includes many receptacles and a bar area.
As outdoor lighting I advice: ceiling fan with light under the pergola, led lanterns for lounging area and in-ground well lights for path and pool.
As you asked all the renders has been made in two versions: first with your present stone and then with a light colored sandstone.
The plans show first the layout of coverings, then the layout of furniture.
