The screened porch is a private oasis conceived as an outdoor room. The vaulted ceiling space with a grill/kitchen area focuses on a view of the coastal pine forest. Smooth, vertical cedar siding (instead of lap siding) clad the walls and signal this as a transitional indoor/outdoor room. Ipe decking provides durable flooring for this primary entertaining space. The Knoll Saarinen table and chairs, an original production George Nelson Slat Bench for Herman Miller, Minka Aire Roto fans and directional sconce lighting from WAC make this a favorite spot for dining and lounging year round.
