Southeast Meridian
Southeast Meridian is family territory. A real share of its newer construction came with a backyard pool as part of the original build, and that brings a code-required barrier and gate into almost every design conversation here.

Under Idaho’s adopted building code that gate has to be self-closing and self-latching. Where it sits and which way it swings directly affect where a kitchen can go without blocking access.
The Area

We treat the gate as a fixed point and build the layout around it, rather than discovering the conflict once construction has started.
Synthetic turf is common in backyards here too, which is worth knowing before anything gets cut or excavated.
