Rooted in our Woodland, California origins, B C SONS has always championed the seamless integration of interior sanctuaries with open-air landscapes. Modern living in temperate climates invites us to treat terraces, courtyards, and poolside decks as natural extensions of the living room.
The Architectural Continuity of Materials
The secret to an effortless indoor-outdoor flow is visual rhythm. When stepping from an interior solid oak hardwood floor onto an outdoor patio, echo the natural timber tones with Grade-A solid teak. Teak (Tectona grandis) contains high concentrations of natural silica and protective resins, rendering it inherently impervious to rain, rot, and pest damage without chemical sealers.
“When you slide open floor-to-ceiling glass doors, the outdoor terrace should feel like a furnished living room that simply happens to be under the open sky.”
Designing Cozy Conversation Zones
Outdoor spaces often suffer from feeling vast and unanchored. Define the space using three architectural anchors:
- Outdoor Area Rugs: UV-stabilized woven polypropylene rugs define seating clusters and bring soft barefoot comfort to stone flagstones.
- Architectural Fire Features: Our Soren Concrete Fire Pit Table anchors cool twilight evenings, casting a warm amber glow that naturally gathers family and guests together.
- Performance Textiles: Upholstery wrapped in solution-dyed Sunbrella® acrylic resists chlorine, salt mist, wine spills, and UV bleaching while remaining soft to the touch.
Left untreated, Grade-A teak will naturally weather over twelve months to an iconic silvery-gray patina. Alternatively, an annual application of natural teak oil preserves its golden honey hue, according to your aesthetic preference.
