Modern Outdoor Dining Areas

16 photos

Outdoor dining needs an anchor, something fixed that makes a patch of open ground feel like a destination. The anchors vary: a rectangular pool, a glass fence, a built-in block fireplace, a black metal pergola. Around them the seating stays light and graphic, with cream shell chairs, black and white chairs and a stone-topped bar lined with stools.
