Description
This natural, free-form beauty was up to the challenge of complimenting a breathtaking home and large space.
Sitting on the lower level of the property beneath the Master Suite and Wing, this wonder project addressed the elevations with a range of pool and outdoor living components and utilized a collection of natural stones to create the perfect space for entertaining. Tying the wish list of features together and achieving practical placement for them inside the space pressed for creativity.
Nearly 20 tons of boulders were used to craft Table Rock Waterfalls and steps to fully encase a 15 foot slide, allowing for kids and adults to enjoy the 632 square foot pool in a unique way. This incredible display of masonry as a bi-product created a secluded, cove setting for the fire pit area underneath incredible landscaping, featuring multiple species of palm trees brought in from various parts of the region.
The raised spa was paired intentionally with an in pool lounge with table for a natural conversation area. Close by, a full kitchen and bar made effective use of space beneath the mid level balcony, with game day watch parties in the fall in mind.
Planter beds and seating areas were placed throughout the 1500 square feet of striking Travertine Scabos flat work. The scabos was selected to pull colors from the aging stones, the home and the stained concrete throughout the property and add a bit of consistency and class while promoting a wild element to the project.
This project became one of a kind and a true masterpiece for the homeowner to enjoy and become a primary location for family reunions for years to come.
