Prior Lake Patio and Pergola

We were asked to create an outdoor room for family use and entertaining. We used an attached pergola to make a strong connection to the house, and to insure it wasn't intrusive to the natural setting of the lake.
We implemented a split-level patio. One area was in the open and closer to the lake. The other patio was situated under the overhead structure next the house to provide a sense of intimacy and privacy. The patio is surrounded by colorful plantings to soften the setting of this beautiful Prior Lake home.
