Outdoor Living
2-Story Screened Porched I Fairfax Station, VA
Project Overview
Bringing a Vacation-Style Retreat Home
The homeowners in the Crosspointe neighborhood of Fairfax Station, VA wanted their home to feel like a year-round vacation retreat. With family visiting frequently, they dreamed of an outdoor space that combined relaxation, entertainment, and breathtaking views—all while connecting seamlessly to their home.
Transforming the Outdoor Space
We replaced the old screened porch, stairs, and landing with a two-story screened porch that connects the main-level kitchen with the basement. The project included a new patio, a dramatic double-height stone fireplace, and integrated smart technology for lighting, audio, and heating—creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.
A Ski-Lodge Inspired Design
The homeowners wanted a warm, inviting “ski-lodge” aesthetic. Wood tones and natural stone now define the space, with the fireplace as the centerpiece. The upper-level porch opens to a deck via a retractable Phantom Screen, providing flexibility: open for fresh air and unobstructed views, or closed to protect against bugs.
The lower level was designed as a multi-functional lounge: a post-pool transition zone with an outdoor shower, space for games like ping-pong, and cozy seating for unwinding—all while enjoying the surrounding wooded landscape.
Details That Make a Difference
Columns feature wood on the interior faces and Hardie Reveal siding on the exterior, creating contrast and texture. Smart technology controls all lighting, audio, space heaters, and fireplaces directly from the homeowners’ smartphones. The design maintains unobstructed views and proper egress for the master bedroom, while internal waterproofing and a carefully engineered drainage system keep the lower level dry and protected.
A Year-Round Outdoor Destination
Today, this two-story screened porch and outdoor living retreat offers the perfect balance of style, comfort, and functionality. The space invites family and friends to relax, entertain, and enjoy nature, all from the comfort of home.
