The upper level of this gorgeous Trex deck is the central entertaining and dining space and includes a beautiful concrete fire table and a custom cedar bench that floats over the deck. Light brown custom cedar screen walls provide privacy along the landscaped terrace and compliment the warm hues of the decking. Clean, modern light fixtures are also present in the deck steps, along the deck perimeter, and throughout the landscape making the space well-defined in the evening as well as the daytime.

Tip - When designing expansive decking and pool surrounds, it is important that the chaise lounge, dining, and outdoor patio areas are all large enough for furniture with room to walk around. www.longislandhottub.com

This manufacturer’s easy to change JetPak massage jets allow individualized massage therapy (neck, shoulder, or lower back) anytime it’s needed. Another reason Long Island Hot Tub specializes in Bullfrog Spas is their virtually leak-proof design. Most of the plumbing is inside the unit, so leaks remain where they can do no damage. www.longislandhottub.com

The pergola chosen is a custom Cedar timber pergola in Hawthorne stain. RDI Excalibur railings in satin black give the deck a very contemporary feel.

92 square foot SIP panel, modular, backyard office. Shou-Sugi-Ban wood siding and Monotread wall sheathing. Our signature interior surface, Monotread is a durable, seamless, sustainable material used on floors, walls and ceilings. Milled from OSB (Oriented Strand Board), Monotread is produced from fast-growing, underutilized, inexpensive wood species grown in carefully managed forests.

This entire project was custom tailored for our client. We created an outdoor kitchen bar area with a separate standalone grill station and wood-fired pizza oven. We created a custom round gas fire pit. We also helped the client handpick the Windham Castings Furniture and Treasure Garden Cantilever Umbrella. This kitchen features appliances from Alfresco Grills, DCS Appliances, Forno Bravo and U-Line.
