Poolside Pavilion and Outdoor Kitchen in Hinckley, Ohio

In Hinckley, this was a full backyard build on a hilltop lot that looks out over open pasture and a pond. We set a vinyl pool into a large-format paver deck and added multiple covered pavilions under standing-seam metal roofs with tongue-and-groove ceilings. One pavilion holds an outdoor kitchen: a stone bar lined with stools, a built-in grill, and a TV, with an adjustable-louver pergola over the counter. Another centers on a stacked stone gas fireplace with motorized screens that drop down for bugs or wind. An in-ground spa with an automatic cover sits at the patio’s edge facing the sunset. Out on the open pavers, a linear gas fire trough and a separate fire pit add two more spots to gather. Low voltage lighting, artificial turf, and black aluminum fencing tie it together. Morning coffee to a fire after dark, all in one yard.
