connecting to nature Archives - Lowell Custom Homes

The forecast for outdoor living is bright. Over the years space where you can connect with nature has evolved to include multiple options for a different experience in each sector. From a family playground to gatherings around the campfire, dedicated activity zones are on the rise. As we bring many of our indoor comforts outdoors, the possibilities to enjoy a healthy lifestyle expands.

A Captivating View

The outdoor experience begins indoors with a view to encourage reaching out to nature. This can often be directed and enhanced with the arrangement of garden elements, fencing, walls and trellises.

Natural Materials Unify Indoor & Outdoor Spaces

The use of natural elements, like plants, wood beams and stone flooring, connect interior and outdoor spaces by subtly guiding the eye along.

Al Fresco Dining

Living outdoors with options includes provisions for basic activities with a touch of style. Alfresco dining is enjoyed around the world, so why not include space at home. A location near the kitchen or outdoor kitchen is a plus.

Open Air Entertaining
