Minimal Design for a Summer Sanctuary

The owners didn’t want a typical classic pergola, so the designers at Betz created a bold modern shade structure using 8” x 8” Douglas fir posts jointed together with sturdy 2” x 6” roof louvres. Its size of 10’ x 18’ helps to hide the adjoining pool equipment room. Frosted glass panels add splashes of light to the solid black wall.
