Luxurious Outdoor Entertainment Areas in Architecture Design Projects

Labor Day is a time to relax, unwind, and celebrate the hard work that we all put in throughout the year. As summer draws to a close, there’s no better way to enjoy this holiday than by spending time outdoors with family and friends. At Dean Larkin Design, we believe that your home should be a haven of comfort and style, where every space—including your outdoor areas—reflects your personal taste and lifestyle. So enjoy these examples of luxurious outdoor entertainment areas in architecture design.

This Labor Day, we’re shining a spotlight on some of our most stunning projects that feature incredible outdoor entertainment areas. These spaces are extensions of your home, carefully designed to blur the line between indoor and outdoor, to enhance your lifestyle and provide the perfect setting for intimate gatherings, grand celebrations, and all of life’s moments in between.

Nimes

Imagine your holiday celebration taking place in this incredible classical luxury home! The pool and entertainment areas are beautiful in daytime or nighttime, so you can extend your gathering into the night. The property has plenty of space for as many friends as you want to invite.

Shahinian

This home is an opulent oasis that would be perfect for large gatherings, with it’s large pool and barbecue area. The infinity pool area with the fountain would be wonderful for more intimate gatherings and seeing the sun go down after a great celebration.

Blue Jay

You may recognize this property from the iconic image that can be found in so many places. The patio with wide couches and spectacular view would be hard to beat as a gathering place for your Labor Day celebration. The pool looks just as gorgeous in the daytime so you can keep cool while enjoying food and friends on the deck.

Latimer

This is one of our newer projects that has been on the cover of California Homes and will soon be on the cover of another publication (we’ll tell you later). This 6,000 square foot home meets the client’s desire for an oasis that responds to their active lifestyle. A series of poured concrete walls that “float” in the created “lake” and are arranged to create privacy and separate public and private areas of the house. The pool features a baja shelf, spa, lap pool, and loggia “island” and visitors can cross-stepping pads on the “lake” to get to the cubic glass entry. The seating area shown connects to the outdoor patio with a grilling area, so the party can definitely have indoor and outdoor comfort.

River Lane

River Lane is also one of our newer projects done for a dear friend. There is a 16′ door between the outdoor loggia and family kitchen, but for this get together, we imagine you would have it open to enjoy easy passage to the loggia seating area and courtyard beyond. Imagine using this gourmet kitchen to cook a meal for your friends as you celebrate!

Nydes

This gorgeous property’s pool area has a 270- degree view of the Getty Museum, the Pacific Ocean and Downtown Los Angeles. We think this would be a pretty incredible place to celebrate any holiday!

Latigo Shore

A celebration at this home would have a nice sea breeze to keep guests cool during the day. Then in the evening, you could all gather around the large but still cozy firepit areas and enjoy the view.

This property’s expansive patio with multiple seating areas would be perfect for large or small gatherings. Be sure to have your guests bring their suits to take advantage of the pool areas too.
