This outdoor living space, thoughtfully designed for a historic home in the Ashland Avenue Historic District of Lexington, KY, is a seamless blend of traditional charm and modern outdoor functionality.

 

The heart of the space is a beautifully crafted brick fireplace, which serves as the focal point both indoors and out. Flanked by expansive screened openings, the fireplace anchors the design, providing warmth and ambiance while offering views to the surrounding backyard garden. The detailed masonry work harmonizes perfectly with the original architecture of the historic home, ensuring that the new structure feels both contemporary and contextually appropriate.

 

The enclosed seating area is enclosed with floor-to-ceiling openings, allowing natural light to flood the interior, creating a bright and welcoming space perfect for almost year-round entertaining. The interior features comfortable furnishings and a timeless aesthetic, with light wood tones and soft textiles that encourage relaxation.

Outside, the patio space is framed by lush landscaping designed by Jon Carloftis and verdant greenery, offering a tranquil retreat. Elegant planters, wrought iron furniture, and subtle stonework complement the overall design, making it an inviting outdoor area for dining and gathering.

 

The roof  is crowned with an elegant white balustrade railing, From the thoughtful brickwork to the careful selection of materials, this project respects the historical context while offering modern comfort and versatility for the homeowners.
