Frequently Asked Questions
How did Selah create privacy in this outdoor space?
In the Davis project, strategic placement of vertical elements and structural components creates intimate zones without sacrificing the open feel essential to outdoor living. The design uses a combination of architectural elements to define different areas while maintaining visual flow throughout the space. The approach balances enclosure with openness — creating defined spaces that still feel connected to the larger outdoor environment and the home's interior rooms. Each transition between zones feels intentional, ensuring privacy never comes at the cost of the generous, welcoming atmosphere the Davis family envisioned for their Haslet property.
How does this design work for different group sizes?
The Davis outdoor living space features multiple gathering zones, each scaled for different activities and group sizes while maintaining visual and functional connections throughout. Distinct areas accommodate everything from quiet morning solitude to weekend entertaining without any space feeling oversized or cramped for the occasion. This flexible zoning approach means the family moves naturally between experiences — intimate conversation flows into larger celebration without awkward transitions. The proportions of each zone were calibrated to the Davis family's specific lifestyle patterns, ensuring every square foot earns its place in the overall design rather than defaulting to generic layouts.
What makes custom design worth the investment?
Custom design ensures every element serves your family's specific lifestyle and your property's unique characteristics. Rather than adapting your vision to fit standard templates, custom design adapts the solution to your needs — as demonstrated in the Davis family's integrated outdoor living space in Haslet. The result is a complete outdoor environment that feels like a natural extension of your home's interior, with the same level of thoughtfulness and sophistication you expect indoors. Every proportion, every sight line, and every material choice responds directly to how your family actually lives and gathers.
How does the space transition from day to evening use?
The Davis project features comprehensive lighting that transforms the outdoor living space as daylight fades, revealing entirely new dimensions of the design after dark. Rather than simply illuminating the space, the lighting strategy creates atmosphere — highlighting architectural elements, defining gathering zones, and establishing mood that shifts with the evening. This day-to-evening transformation extends the usable hours of the complete outdoor environment significantly, ensuring the space feels equally compelling at noon and at midnight. The Davis family can move seamlessly from afternoon relaxation to evening entertaining without the environment ever feeling like an afterthought once the sun sets.
How does Selah integrate indoor and outdoor living?
The Davis project demonstrates Selah's philosophy that an outdoor living space should feel like a genuine extension of the home's interior rooms. This means matching the sophistication and comfort clients expect indoors — through thoughtful proportions, intentional sight lines, and cohesive design language that bridges the threshold between inside and out. Structural elements echo the home's architectural character while responding to the unique demands of open-air living. The complete outdoor environment maintains visual and experiential continuity with the residence, so stepping outside feels less like leaving the house and more like entering another room within it.
