The pool is the main feature of this new space. A pergola, fireplace and bar area are featured on one end while a pool cottage and garden are featured on the other.

Out project site was a blank space. Our clients wanted an entertaining area that was close both in view and walking distance from their exiting house.

The far end of the pool features a custom, brick, fireplace with a custom pergola and a bar area for entertaining.

A chestnut style fence and gate frames the new space and keeps their two young children from entering the new pool area.

In terms of design aesthetic, the finished space was meant to look like it was built in conjunction with the shingle-style house.

The bar area features two fridges, storage and trash. Seating for four is on the opposite side to allow for TV viewing and views of the yard.

The clear cedar pergola along with the integrated exterior fans offer shade and comfort during the hot summer sun. A wisteria will eventually take over the pergola and provide additional shade. Subtle lighting accents the space at night.

The owners wanted clear sight lines to and from the house for safety and to make the house and pool area feel connected.

A custom garden cottage serves as a remote office for the owners. Four rectangular beds are framed with brick and filled with lavender.

The relationship between the hot tub and lounge/bar area was strategic as this is the most active area of the space.

The pool deck is true blue thermal bluestone as our clients wanted to replicate a classic Hamptons look.
