2018 LADUE NEWS DESIGN AWARDS: OUTDOOR SPACE

When designing the outdoor space for a 1930s bungalow for clients with three teenagers and three dogs, Castle Design’s Meghan Heeter seamlessly extended the living area from inside out.

“Rather than pack up and move to a larger home in the burbs, this young family decided to invest in their cherished home and create an outdoor living space where they could entertain, relax and enjoy time together year-round,” Heeter says. “This was a true extension of this charming home.”

Judges especially loved Heeter’s use of color in the transformed retreat. “‘Soft and bright’ makes an outdoor living space a true extension of this home,” notes a judge.
