Project Cost Level $$$$

Project overview:

Pavilion featuring outdoor kitchen, dining area, seating area and fireplace. Pool.

What client wanted the space to accomplish:

The client desired a pavilion to be able to enjoy the outdoor area in various weather conditions. Also wanted a pool as part of the design.

Innovative ideas/concepts Earth, Turf, & Wood brought to the table:

The idea of putting a pool on the property was discouraged by other landscape designers due to the awkward pie-shaped back yard shape. We were able to incorporate the pool design along with all other design elements while providing creative screening to block neighborhood houses. (Position of fireplace strategically blocked neighboring houses.)

Notable design/construction challenges:

The property’s pie shape created difficult setbacks and limitations to fit in all desired elements. The existing wall and patio were removed to allow better integration of elements. Construction and zoning challenges of building the pavilion directly onto the house were circumvented by creating a freestanding structure that was close enough to the house to still provide direct access and the desired protection from weather.
