High-end Basics: Patio and Deck Done Right
This client spared no expense in using high-quality materials. For the deck portion of this project, we utilized Trex decking, renowned for its durability and low maintenance. The deck seamlessly transitions to a patio adorned with Unilock Pavers, which lend a touch of modern elegance to the space. Natural bluestone coping accents the patio design, adding a timeless appeal. With a total area of several thousand square feet, this expansive outdoor living area invites you to immerse yourself in the surrounding beauty.
Pool Paradise
The centerpiece of this outdoor oasis is the custom-designed gunite pool. Its generous size provides ample space for leisurely swims or energetic poolside gatherings. The elevated spa, adorned with Eldorado cultured stone veneer, offers a luxurious setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. The pool includes many custom features such as laminar deck jets and an infinity edge that spills into a lower basin flanked by a patio and fire pit. Whatever your mood, this pool offers the means to accommodate.
Pool House Perfection
Adjacent to the pavilion, the pool house is a convenient addition to this outdoor haven, complete with a bathroom and storage area. The bathroom features a shower with a prefabricated basin and shower walls, a vanity, toilet, vanity mirror, and vanity light. The interior finishes exude elegance, with tile flooring, wood shiplap, and smooth James Hardie panels for the ceiling. The exterior of the pool house matches the siding of the main home, showcasing a cohesive and seamless design.
Over-the-top Outdoor Kitchen
We’re especially proud of the outdoor kitchen that graces this outdoor living space. The custom outdoor kitchen boasts a grill, fridge, pizza oven, and a customer-provided tandoor oven, ensuring that all the tools necessary to create mouthwatering meals are conveniently available. The ample workspace of outdoor kitchen countertops of varying depths allows for effortlessly entertaining guests while preparing delicious dishes. The kitchen's stunning finish in Eldorado cultured stone veneer ensures that this space is part of the cohesive outdoor living space.
Fantastic Fire and Water Features
The linear fire pit on the lower patio provides excellent after-dark ambiance. It is coffee table height with natural stone caps, adorned with Eldorado cultured stone veneer. This unique focal point sets the stage for intimate conversations. The fire pit is nestled within a patio that backs to an infinity edge water feature from the pool that overflows into a lower basin offering a cozy conversation zone. Creating fire and water within an outdoor living space is always a welcomed addition.
Pavilions and Pergolas: Shade and Glory
Creating shaded areas for relaxation and entertainment is a crucial aspect of outdoor design. In this project, we incorporated several stunning structures to provide ample shade and add architectural interest. At the same level as the deck, a single-slope roof pavilion that serves as a gathering spot for family and friends. Its design seamlessly integrates with the surrounding landscape, offering both comfort and style. At patio level, a custom pool house with bathroom area features a louvered pergola. At the push of a button, this pergola opens or closes it's aluminum rafters for just the right setting regardless of weather. This open pool house boasts a vaulted tongue and groove fir ceiling, ceiling fans, speakers, TVs, and a custom fireplace. The custom wrapped posts and headers, stone accents, and electric heaters complete the look, creating an inviting space to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.
Lovely Landscaping
To enhance the natural charm of this outdoor oasis, we meticulously designed and implemented a landscaping package. We carefully selected assorted trees, shrubs, and perennials and strategically placed them to complement the overall aesthetic and create a visually stunning backdrop. Whether you're admiring the vibrant colors of blossoming flowers or reveling in the tranquility of a shaded tree, the thoughtful landscaping details will undoubtedly captivate your senses.
Game-changing Custom Lighting
To extend the usability and allure of this outdoor living space into the evening hours, we incorporated custom lighting solutions. We installed Kichler low-voltage outdoor lighting along walkways, steps, and within the landscaping, creating a magical ambiance that showcases the beauty of our work and the great outdoors. With carefully placed lights, we ensure that each area is illuminated to perfection, providing functionality, safety, and an enchanting atmosphere for nighttime enjoyment.
We Built it in the Winter
Despite the challenges posed by a tight construction timeline and a winter build, our dedicated team overcame the obstacles to deliver an exceptional result. Starting the project at the end of December, we made efficient use of the mild winter weather to swiftly install the pool and patio base materials, allowing us to progress seamlessly to the surrounding carpentry elements. As construction continued through early spring, we meticulously added the finishing touches, including landscaping and lighting, to ensure that the backyard was ready for the summer season. This project is a testament to our commitment to excellence and our ability to deliver remarkable results within a short timeframe.
How Much Did This Project Cost?
The scope and level of detail in this project reflect its lavish nature. With a comprehensive range of features and upgrades, the overall cost exceeded $800,000. It's important to note that this particular project represents a grand-scale design, and our team is adept at tailoring projects to suit a variety of budgets.
