485 Outdoor Walkways Design Photos And Ideas

"The design separates public and private space by a covered, but external walkway," said the architects. "By juxtaposing these positions, the house acts like a camp – retreating to the tent to sleep and living under the tree canopy outside – a universal gathering space connected by landscape rather than built form."
The garden pavilion sits adjacent to the original house and overlooks the reworked garden and new pool. The pool is surrounded by a metal screen element that's also repeated elsewhere in the project.
The architects preserved the front of the house, but incorporated three bedrooms, a dining room, and lounge area into the new floor plan. They renovated the bathroom and laundry room and built a new powder room.
The home, like the surrounding clusters of oaks, simultaneously shelters and defines the clearings.
On a scenic but exposed lakefront site on New Zealand’s South Island, architects Tim Lovell and Ana O’Connell of Lo’CA created a pitch-roofed 2,690-square-foot residence for Tim’s parents. The home’s courtyard was excavated to help shelter it from high winds. A 10-foot eave over the windows and doors assists with sun shade and heat retention during the intense summer and winter months.
A firewood storage area is located beneath a small bunkroom that is accessible from the terrace via a metal staircase.

"I want the members to feel completely comfortable and not want to leave," she says. "The property still maintains a beach-house charm."
The private patio can accommodate work or play.

The expansive cantilevered decks let the clients enjoy the view they love from thirty feet above the ground.
Strategically placed windows throughout highlight site-specific views and punctuate the structure with this distinctly function driven form.
The new patio connects to a fire pit lounge area via the wood walkway. Naber worked with McCullough Landscape to fashion the cement and rock patio. Decomposed granite replaced the grass, and Naber planted succulents from her wedding alongside cacti and native plants for a more drought-tolerant landscape.
The curved battened screen provides privacy for the master suite and gives the extension sculptural appeal.
Stacked sliding doors achieve an open corner in the dining room for a seamless connection with the outdoors.
The infinity pool overlooks stunning views of Mexico and the San Diego skyline and harbor.

The living area features a Le Bombole ’07 sofa by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia, a Chieftan chair by Finn Juhl, and a rotating hanging stove by FireOrb. The poufs are by Tazi Designs.
Margaret worked with interior designer Jessica Helgerson on the space planning of the rooms, interior finish materials, fireplace, plumbing fixtures, appliances, lighting, and the furnishing of the guesthouse. The living area features a Le Bombole ’07 sofa by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia, a Chieftan chair by Finn Juhl, and a rotating hanging stove by FireOrb. The poufs are by Tazi Designs.
The library, kitchen, and master suite are housed within the plaster cubes.
The master bedroom's sliding glass doors open up to an outdoor terrace, garden, and the pool.
The cabin is intentionally subdued in color and texture, allowing it to recede into the woods and defer to the beauty of the landscape.
On the western side of the home, the brick addition becomes sinuous to carve out leisure spaces in a new private courtyard, which is entirely enclosed by a white brick boundary wall. Large openings to the interior ensure seamless indoor/outdoor flow for the homeowners.
"Below the horizontal plane, it was decided to reorganize the site in order to design a plateau that would become the outdoor living plane," says the firm. "The blasting residues were compacted and refused on the site to create the project’s new ground: a disturbed surface rather than one extracted from the territory."
The home is organized around a series of four outdoor courtyards.

The three structures are linked by a covered walkway and surround a north-facing courtyard protected from coastal winds. There is no fence to encourage interaction with neighbors.
"There are many silo houses out there, but the purity of the cylinder breaks down when interior execution is does not align," says Christoph Kaiser. "For the interior, I wanted to remain committed to something of the same breadth."
The remote, desert enclave sits just 700 feet from the tallest building in downtown Phoenix.
The rear elevation of the home faces North, taking advantage of natural light via extensive doors and clerestory windows tucked under the eaves.
Mature oak trees provide welcome shade in the warmer months.
The rear structure contains a gym with sliders on both sides, a guestroom, and a kitchenette.
The master bedroom was raised and cantilevered so as not to disturb the mature oak tree roots. Boulders are used as steps to the lawn.
Designed by Los Angeles-based creative agency Folklor in partnership with SKG Investments, Native retains the previous motel’s charm with original features like the stone fireplace and concrete aggregate floors.
The soaking tub is consistently heated to 102 degrees.
The home was prefabricated in Turkey and delivered to the site on the back of a flatbed truck. Thanks to the small size, simple design, and carefully selected palette, the project cost just under €10,000.
Wooden slats inserted in the stone shell hint at the stripped-down, more modern interior, while also creating privacy and protection from the sun.
The rectilinear form of a floating concrete bench sits atop the red concrete pad that defines the exterior courtyard.
A wood promenade connects the beachside retreat directly to the bay.
The structure is built entirely of reinforced, poured in-situ concrete, except for the metallic pillars on opposite ends of the home.
Transitional spaces were key in the design.
The triangle is the home’s leitmotiv, appearing in the cantilevered bedroom module and the steps approaching the entrance.
The Weiners’ first stab at a decorative green roof went awry when workers installed the fabric membrane incorrectly; the plants didn’t thrive, and soil leached down the drain, causing a backup in the yard below. But with the help of an artist friend—–and avid gardener—–they successfully brought a piece of cultivated wildness, including hardy flora like creeping thyme, honeysuckle, hops, and kiwi, to their roof.

The home gracefully sits among the surrounding canopy of trees.
The spaces are arranged around a courtyard to create visual and physical connections. Yet, these connected areas can be broken up by large sliding doors.
