A Decatur Photographer wanted a weekend retreat in her own back yard. Understandably so with a career that constantly keeps her on the go, she needed a special place for she and her family to enjoy in her sacred time at home. The jumping off point for Jones Pierce was her love for mid-century design. This laid the stage for a modern yet cozy space. Feature elements include an 8 foot stucco perimeter wall which created the backdrop, a terracing ipe deck where levels seem to float over one another, an open air pavilion for relaxing and looking out over the yard, an outdoor dining and kitchen area with bluestone paving, countertops, and backsplash, a new pool house with key elements like ipe siding and a corner window, and finally the pool.
