    Your home may already have an outdoor living space, but have you ever considered adding a freestanding outdoor retreat? Outdoor retreats are one of the hottest home construction trends and provide all the comforts of home while allowing access to the beautiful outdoors. These retreats are typically positioned away from the house and often feature couches, lounge chairs, a fireplace, and an outdoor kitchen.

    Before you begin planning your outdoor retreat, it’s helpful to determine when and how the space will be used. Winters are typically cold and snowy here in Connecticut so an outdoor retreat will most likely be used for just three seasons. Your outdoor retreat should have solutions to address your home comfort needs, include ceiling fans or heaters. If you will be entertaining in your retreat make sure that you plan for the plumbing, gas, and electric hookups that are required of an outdoor kitchen. Designing and building an outdoor retreat will hopefully provide you just the space you need to relax, rewind, and reconnect with the people you love.
