Engaging the Water

A community lake sits at the back of this house but felt rather disconnected from it. A new owner saw the potential in transforming the underutilized backyard to provide enhanced outdoor living and entertaining space.

Three levels of new decks and terrace provide multiple vantage points and a variety of outdoor living areas. An outdoor kitchen and dining area are central to the main deck. A new salt-water spa pool and fire feature overlook the lake. A natural material palette is used throughout including stacked stone walls, ipe decking, and grey sandstone pavers. Glass railings on the decks and stair maintain open sight lines. The new design opens the interior of the home to a sweeping view of the lake and surrounding landscape by incorporating additional windows and a large folding door system.
