Outdoor Living
Pools, Terraces & Outdoor Living
The spaces where a Florida home is actually lived in, pool surrounds, terraces, shade, and the rooms between the house and the garden.
In this climate, the best rooms of a house are often outside it. A pool surround, a shaded terrace, an evening garden, these are where South Florida living actually happens, and they deserve to be designed with the same rigor as any interior.
Canopy treats outdoor living as spatial composition. We set proportions, sightlines, and transitions so that the terrace relates to the pool, the pool relates to the garden, and every threshold feels intentional.
What we design
- Pool surrounds, decks, and water features integrated with the planting
- Terraces, loggias, and shade structures oriented to sun and breeze
- Summer kitchens, fire features, and evening lighting
- Privacy screening and canopy that make a space feel enclosed and cool
- Circulation and materials that connect the house to the grounds
Comfort by design
We plan for shade in July and light in January, for the path taken barefoot at night, and for the view held from the water. Comfort in this climate is engineered, and we engineer it quietly.
