Open House: Outdoor Spaces With Frank Fontana

Thanks to a slew of chic weather-resistant fabrics, furnishings and materials, al fresco areas can be just as stylish as indoor ones and even blend seamlessly with interiors. Take this outdoor haven by Barb Ince of Susan Fredman Design Group. Interior designer and HGTV host Frank Fontana gets a tour of the space, which includes a large kitchen complete with a stove, refrigerator and honed granite counters. Nearby, the dining area provides a sleek complement to the formal dining room with sleek teak furniture that’s also mildew-proof.
