Region IV East Central Neal’s Design and Remodel Cincinnati, Ohio www.neals.com

After a lower-level wine cellar was created in their home, the homeowners decided to create a multi-season, open-air veranda outdoor living space. It would have a 20-foot cultured stone fireplace for when it got cool, and all the appliances and plumbing would be able to be winterized, as this was the Midwest. Because the homeowners’ association deemed that no stand-alone outdoor structures could be built, a decorative trellis anchors the outdoor space to the indoor. The space also follows the contours of the already-established landscaping plan.
