our amazing Arizona lifestyle at home doesn’t have to stop at your sliding glass doors. Indoor/outdoor living, where a living space is created from seamlessly connecting your home’s interior with the outdoors, is becoming the most popular configuration among homeowners of all ages across the state.
“Our buyers from out of state really enjoy the Arizona climate and the opportunities for outdoor living that are rather limited in other regions,” said Steve Berry, senior vice president, Architecture and Design, for Robson Resort Communities. “Our front and side courtyard spaces are smaller and more intimately scaled, while our already generously covered outdoor living spaces can be expanded to create a grand space as buyers may need for entertaining and plenty of shade under roof. Our covered outdoor living spaces accommodate several furniture arrangements for multiple uses.” For a home in Arizona, “outdoor spaces are ideal for additional living because they can be enjoyed year-round due to favorable weather,” said Hal Looney, Arizona President, Trilogy by Shea Homes. Most Trilogy communities cater to residents 55 and older. “Our homes offer generously-sized covered patios in all floorplans and front and side courtyards in several,” Looney said. “But to meet consumer trends, Trilogy communities are introducing new floorplans that maximize outdoor spaces by connecting the interior living areas and expanding outdoor amenity options.”

Features that maximize indoor/outdoor living
Robson offers several options for its covered outdoor living spaces, Berry said. These include fireplaces, sliding glass doors that stack or recess into the wall, tongue and groove wood ceiling finishes “that really warm up the space and give buyers the opportunity to work with our preferred landscape partners for additional outdoor design elements to complete the outdoor living experience. We show
outdoor built-in barbecues and water features frequently as part of the outdoor lifestyle experience. The sound of water is very pleasant in our desert environment, especially as temperatures warm up. We love to show a variety of outdoor flooring finishes as well, such as pavers and travertine even in the covered areas, continuing the tile from the inside the home.” Looney noted that “making indoor/ outdoor living a reality starts with erasing NO BOUNDARIES, continued on page 2

Rejuvenating outdoor furniture doesn’t have to be difficult
S
ome of the most popular materials for outdoor furniture include weather-resistant fabric or canvas; metal; and an wicker and rattan. What are the best ways wa to revitalize faded, worn, torn or rusted ru outdoor furniture pieces? For sofa cushions, “evaluate the strength st of the existing fabric,”, “evaluate at the strength of the existing fabric,” advised ad Timothy Harris, owner of Relics Upscale Up Consignment & Antiques in Phoenix. Ph “Outdoor fabrics that are worn due du to sun exposure can feel uncomfortable abl and leave a residue on clothing,” he said. sa “They can become rough or faded and an the fibers weakened by the sun.” If the fabric strength is adequate, try power-washing po the cushion to remove any an soil or mold and allow to dry in the sun, su he recommended. Overly worn covers co will rip easily, so it may be time to recover, re he said. “If the covers still appear to be worn, it’s time to decide whether the th foam insert can be salvaged or needs to be replaced as well. If the foam is unstable st or brittle, it’s best to invest in new inserts. in Select a new fabric and inserts through th an upholstery shop.” Iron or aluminum furniture can be refreshed re short-term, Harris said, with high-heat hig spray paints.

the boundaries and adding features like floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors.” Shea Homes offers “the invisible corner,” two walls of sliding glass doors that promote continuous flow of structural and design elements. “Full outdoor kitchens, ramadas, water features, Baja shelves (tanning ledges in a shallow section of the pool) and putting greens have been popular selections,” Looney said. Trilogy buyers also have shown an interest in elevated patios, zero-edge pools and fire features. “From play pools, raised spas inside zero-edge pools, dedicated dog yards, reading nooks, rooftop decks or fire pits adjacent to the pool, there are numerous ways buyers build their outdoor space into their main social and living area.” Looney added that some finishes can add special sparkle. “Glass tile around the pool or water and fire feature delivers a transcendent reflection and is trendy yet classic,” he said. “Buyers should also consider porcelain pavers, as they’re easier to clean and are available in many shapes and colors.”

want to consider adding features that enhance indoor/outdoor living while construction of your home is under way. “Generally, the options are better priced if you can add on during construction of the new home,” Berry said. To decide which features are optimal, “buyers should project how they see themselves using outdoor space,” Berry added. “Do you entertain large groups or just a few friends and guests? When it’s just you home alone, how will you use the space? Do you like to relax outside to read, watch TV and dine? If so, think about sun orientation, shade and creating the cozy spaces you love to spend time in.” Before construction begins on your new home, advised Timothy Harris, owner of Phoenix-based Relics Upscale Consignment & Antiques, “consider design options you want that require incorporating infrastructure, such as plumbing, electrical or cabling. These can be more labor-intensive and add cost if installed later.” “The most important thing to keep in mind is budget,” Looney said. “Outdoor living in Arizona is a new experience for many buyers and while it’s important to create a space you cherish and want to spend time in, it’s vital to understand how you want to live in the space right away as well as into the future and how those plans work with your budget.”
