An Actor’s Outdoor Living Room in Sherman Oaks, CA

My family lives in a relatively small home and we needed space, but I hated the idea of overbuilding on our lot. As my parents wanted to visit and spend more time with our kids we needed a way to expand our home to accommodate friends and family. We maximized our outdoor space with a large roofed section, commercial heaters, misters, and a roof and pergola that cover a built-in outdoor kitchen. It’s all the added living space we needed! Plus, we added a decked-in hot tub and rustic outdoor shower. But everything in the backyard centers around our homemade fire bowl and our prolific lemon tree. When life gives you lemons!
