The Main Entrance was below the grade. It was a challenge to make the entry of this house seem inviting and substantial, when very little was visible from the the street legal. The roofline, tiles, gutters, and architectural details of the downspouts became very critical.

A bank of windows with a floor-board heater underneath them was critical space that we captured with a series of wall-hung cabinets. The quartz top extends into the window. The maple butcher-block island top is finished with food-grade mineral oil so the client can use it for prep. Natural maple floating shelves pick up the island top finish.

The client wanted a deck to be connected to the rest of the yard and transition to the upper deck 10ft of grade to the patio on grade. The centrally located circular kitchen area services both the patio and the upper deck and gives lots of options whether it’s just the family or a party for 50. Minimizing rails and stairs during the transition from the upper deck to the lower deck on grade was critical to the clients. Adding the kitchen to the project without obstructing the view out the rear patio doors was also an important request from the client. The WOLF PVC Black Walnut accents and fascia really sets off the Driftwood field. Dutch Quality weathered ledge stone was used in the kitchen with a granite counter. Custom welded aluminum rails and EP Henry Bristol pavers are also featured. The built in flower beds extend the feel of the patio area and allow for plantings to be added. This project turned an unusable back yard and disconnected elevated deck into cohesive multi-level living space.
