Gary Tupe and his wife have an extremely large house, and with 12 children...they need it! The yard is even bigger with green grass as far as the eye can see. But they don't have a room that they can escape to when they need a little break from it all. So Dean and Derek create the perfect room for a relaxing retreat from their busy schedules complete with a Sonoma inspired Pergola, a gas grill and island, a fire pit and plenty of comfortable seating! It all sits atop a wooden platform with stairs all around for exit and entry. Lamps give it that cozy living room feel. Top it off with planting and greenery... There's no escaping this cozy retreat.
