Outdoor Space

20th Century Revival

Contemporary details in outdoor living are blended with the historic home as a backdrop in this ultra-luxurious, multi-tiered entertainment space. The client requested a full spectrum of program elements, including a covered outdoor living space with a fireplace and a full outdoor kitchen, a guest/pool house, an upper and lower pool, a spa, a swim-up bar ledge, a sunken fire pit and multiple lounging spaces. The backyard’s sloped hill made the terrain unusable for this vision, so the design team’s biggest challenge was to flatten the earth and create functional yet beautiful spaces. They addressed the dramatic grade changes by using terraces, expanding the usable space and creating various outdoor rooms, which resulted in a dynamic, party-ready space from every angle.
