When it comes to outdoor living, there's nothing quite like having a dedicated space to unwind, read, and take in the beauty of an evening sunset. For our latest client — a retired pilot nestled in the serene hills of Carlsbad, California — creating this space was all about enhancing relaxation and wellness in retirement. With a view that opens onto the rolling West Coast landscape, the addition of a Terra Summer pergola brought a new layer of tranquility and charm to their backyard, transforming it into the ultimate outdoor escape.

After years of searching for a way to enjoy the outdoors more comfortably, our client decided it was time to create a personal retreat right at home. Retired and relishing the slower pace of life, they envisioned a pergola that would allow them to enjoy the California weather while providing a cozy corner to read, relax, and savor a glass of wine. Driven by a desire to add both beauty and function to their garden, they set out to find a solution that would offer shade during the day and a welcoming ambiance for evening relaxation.

This project featured our signature louvered pergola, chosen for its sleek design and adaptability. Constructed from durable, top-quality materials, the pergola is built to withstand the California sun while offering an escape into shaded comfort whenever needed. Our client opted for adjustable louvers and shutters, which allow him to control sunlight levels throughout the day — perfect for reading in the morning light or watching the sunset with an unobstructed view.

By integrating Terra Summer’s durable craftsmanship and customizable features, this louvered pergola complements his backyard’s natural aesthetic while adding a functional yet elegant centerpiece. Designed for longevity, this pergola promises to be a cherished space for years to come.
