Beautiful Houses With Modern Pergola Extensions

A pergola is a garden feature which is used to created a shaded sitting area or walkway and which can either be a standalone structure is an extension of a building. A lot of contemporary homes have pergolas and we’re very curious to see how the designs have been adapted to suit the style and the overall vibe of the house. Wood is famously the most common material for this type of structure and a modern pergola is not that different in this sense, although other materials can work out nicely.

Sliding glass doors let in lots of natural light and can also expose the interior space to the outdoors and a beautiful pergola created a shaded area outside.

Another beautiful example is a residence completed by studio Ro I Rockett Design where the pergola is a a very important part of the design and the house as a whole. The project started out as a modest countryside retreat but ended up evolving into a permanent residence.

A high pitched roof gives this house a really cozy and charming look and combined with the overall simplicity of the design enforces the modern vibe of the entire place.

Speaking of modern pergolas, this one is massive and quite impressive. It’s part of a project completed by architect Vincent Coste on the Corsica island.

The Big Sur Cabin is a charming weekend retreat located in Carmel, California.
