An enclosed backyard spa-like retreat is just steps from the family room, complete with an oversized hot tub, gorgeous cedar interior finishes and large-scale windows.

With an existing deck on the back of their home, the homeowners wanted to maintain their open-air living space while adding a new dimension: An enclosed four-season room with a cozy interior and relaxing hot tub, but with an open, airy aesthetic that feels connected to the outdoors.

The octagon gazebo-like enclosure is crafted with a high-pitched cedar stick-frame roof for a dramatic interior finish. Bays of windows on all sides allow an abundance of light and fresh air—all with room for a couch and bistro set for added enjoyment.
