Even the name sounds romantic: loggia. These beautiful outdoor living areas create an ideal backyard spot for dining al fresco, conversations and cocktails, or indulging in quiet time.

The design of a loggia is as unique as any home, but each one shares a common feature: Loggias were created to be comfortable, relaxing covered spaces that bring a bit of the outdoors in — and vice versa. Here are some of the city’s most gorgeous loggias.

Serene outdoor living is on full display at 5800 Armstrong Pkwy. in University Park. Here, you’ll find an enviable outdoor entertaining area, manicured sculpture garden and several distinct water features.

The contemporary home at 6607 Desco Dr. carries its earth and industrial design throughout, including the loggia. Concrete walls and a steel roof enclose the oversized kitchen and prep area. Other notable amenities include a stainless steel fire pit and modern sculptures.

No detail was spared in the breathtaking outdoor living area at 3521 Beverly Dr. in Highland Park — from a state-of-the-art grilling system to ample room for seating overlooking the resort-style pool. Extras such as a well-positioned HDTV, shades and ceiling fans add perfect finishing touches.

A true oasis, 9520 Hathaway St. offers an exceptional loggia with a fireplace and outdoor kitchen, and it is surrounded by lush tropical plants.

The natural design of the wooden loggia at 6700 Lakeshore Dr. keeps the aesthetics of the entire backyard area strikingly simple. The outdoor area here overlooks the pool, manicured lawns and stone walkways.
