Outdoor Living, Elevated
Outdoor Living,
a True Extension of Your Home
In Arizona, outdoor living isn’t an accessory, it’s a way of life. From cool desert mornings to golden-hour evenings, the spaces outside your walls often become the most used rooms of the home. At AllHaus, we design and renovate outdoor living environments that feel intentional, architectural, and fully integrated with the home itself.
This recently completed Arizona renovation project is a perfect example of how thoughtful design, material selection, and craftsmanship can transform a backyard into a resort-level outdoor retreat without losing warmth, comfort, or livability.
Designed for Daily Use, Built to Endure
The goal of this renovation was clear: create a seamless outdoor living experience that functions as an extension of the home, not a separate afterthought. Every element was considered through the lens of how the homeowners actually live — entertaining, relaxing, moving fluidly between indoors and out.
Key objectives included:
- Multiple outdoor “zones” for gathering, lounging, and recreation
- Strong architectural continuity with the main residence
- Materials suited for Arizona’s climate and light
- A balance of openness and privacy
The result is an outdoor environment that feels refined, grounded, and timeless.
Outdoor Fireplace & Lounge Spaces
At the heart of the covered patio is a custom outdoor fireplace, anchoring the primary lounge area. Flanked by comfortable seating and warm finishes, this zone becomes a natural gathering point for both quiet evenings and social nights.
Rather than over-designing, the space relies on proportion, symmetry, and material restraint. Neutral stone, subtle metal accents, and soft furnishings allow the architecture to lead while still feeling inviting.
Outdoor Seating, Fire Features & Entertaining Zones
Beyond the pool, additional seating areas and a dedicated fire feature expand how the homeowners can use the space.
These areas allow for:
- Smaller, intimate conversations
- Post-dinner lounging
- Casual gatherings that don’t revolve around a single focal point
By layering multiple seating environments, the backyard becomes adaptable — suitable for both hosting and solitude.
Resort-Style Pool & Hardscape Design
The pool area was designed to feel clean, modern, and calm — more boutique resort than backyard pool.
Key features include:
- Crisp geometric pool lines
- Integrated water features for subtle movement and sound
- Light-toned stone decking that stays cooler underfoot
- Clear sightlines across the yard for openness
The hardscape layout intentionally creates visual balance while guiding movement through the space. Every transition feels natural, not forced.
Covered Patios & Architectural Shade
One of the defining features of this project is the covered patio structure. Heavy timber beams, thoughtfully spaced overhead slats, and integrated heaters allow the space to be used year-round — even on cooler desert evenings.
Large glass doors visually and physically connect the interior living areas to the patio, creating a natural flow that blurs the boundary between inside and out. The architecture feels substantial without being heavy, offering shade, texture, and rhythm.
Design takeaway: Well-designed shade structures don’t just block the sun — they define the space.
Landscape Integration & Privacy
Landscape elements were selected to soften architectural lines while enhancing privacy. Strategic planting along perimeter walls adds texture and greenery without overwhelming the clean aesthetic.
Low-maintenance plantings ensure the space remains beautiful year-round, while subtle lighting provides ambiance and security after dark.
