Back Exterior & Outdoor Living Gallery
The view, the porch, the deck — where outdoor living happens.
Outdoor Living Designed for the View
In North Georgia, the best view is often out the back. Mountain ridges, lake reflections, and pine-canopied lots deserve more than a sliding glass door — they deserve a porch you live on, a deck you cook on, and a patio you gather around.
Every back exterior we design is built around the way you actually spend time outside — screened porches with fireplaces, covered decks with outdoor kitchens, vaulted wood ceilings overhead, and stone patios that flow into pools and fire pits below. Browse the gallery for inspiration, then explore the homes these spaces belong to.

What Makes a Great Outdoor Space
Across every home we build, certain elements turn a back porch into an extension of the living room — and a backyard into the favorite room of the house.
Screened-in Porches
Three-season rooms with fans, fireplaces, and TVs — protected from bugs and weather, open to the breeze. Tongue-and-groove ceilings, exposed beams, and outdoor-grade flooring turn these into a true extension of the living room.
Covered Decks & Sun Decks
Multi-level decks that catch every angle of the view — covered for shade and rain, open for grilling and stargazing. Built in composite, cedar, or treated wood with custom railings designed to disappear into the landscape.
Outdoor Fireplaces & Kitchens
Stone fireplaces with hand-built mantels for the cool months, built-in grills with stone counters for the warm ones. Outdoor kitchens with refrigerators, sinks, and pizza ovens — designed for hosting through every season.
Vaulted Porch Ceilings
Open-rafter and tongue-and-groove ceilings that lift the space and frame the view. Stained cedar, pine, or cypress with exposed beams turn the porch into the home's most photographed room.
Stone Patios & Hardscape
Flagstone, paver, and natural-stone patios that connect the home to the landscape. Fire pits, retaining walls, and stone steps designed to work with the slope of North Georgia lots — never against it.
Pool & Hot Tub Integration
Pools, spas, and hot tubs designed into the site from day one — not added on later. Custom decking, surround patios, and equipment layouts that disappear into the surrounding terrain.
