Openings, decks and shade in West Hollywood, Los Angeles County
West Hollywood Living Rooms Joined to the Patio
Palmcrest Contractors joins West Hollywood living rooms to the patio with folding doors, level thresholds, privacy screens and shade over the glass.
The threshold is the line we care about most in a West Hollywood house, the strip where the living room floor stops and the patio begins. Where the yard beyond it is small, a door that folds away, a surface laid close to the indoor floor and a cover that shades the glass let the outdoor space work as part of the room. Light, privacy and shade all meet at that one edge.
Privacy that keeps the light
Where neighbors are close, privacy becomes part of the design. Tall planters, a slatted screen wall or a frosted transom can block a line of sight while daylight still reaches the sofa. Overhead, an open pergola with a retractable fabric panel shades the glass at noon and pulls back in the evening. We keep the screen, the cover and the door head on related lines so the patio reads as a planned outdoor room. Low lighting tucked into the planters and the cover beam keeps the space useful once the sun is down.
West Hollywood plan check
West Hollywood runs its own building and safety office, which reviews the structural drawings when a bearing wall is widened for a new door, and it also reads the plans for an attached cover or a deck built above grade. Our set shows the header the engineer sized, the posts and their footings and the connection of the cover to the existing framing. We answer each reviewer comment in writing, then build in the sequence the inspector signs off, so the opening, the patio and the shade come together as one finished space.
