Addition of a fire-pit or a full-fledged fireplace with a glass enclosure also allows you to enjoy the chilly nights under a star-lit sky with comfort. Try and build a convenient seating arrangement around this focal point and ensure that the comfy chairs or couch allows you to in the lovely views on offer. For those who need some shelter from the midday or evening sun, the extended roof of the home or a beautiful pergola can provide the ideal solution.
