Studio Terrain recreated this outdoor entertaining after a major home extension. Taking advantage of sweeping 180 degree views of the Puget sound, Orca Pods, Humpback whales and the Olympic mountains, the design allows for maximum view corridors from the inside while still providing space for 40+ guests.
Utilizing a louvered roof system and overhead heat for four seasons entertaining, the wood fired pizza oven provides a central gathering point year round. The lawn was engineered to the same specs as world class soccer fields providing fast draining lawn use in the wettest seasons. A clean concrete lawn edge is actually a hidden structural retaining wall with pin piles to stabilize the slope edge.

Our clients were a young married couple who enjoyed bringing people together through social gatherings, and moments of quiet pause. The interior layout was redefined to create a spacious and open plan that suited the couple's lifestyle needs. Warm and bright material and color finishes were also curated to create a harmonious flow of spaces for a sense of easy living. Select pieces of furniture were also customised to optimise the use of space and enhance the overarching design direction.

The last house on a dirt road in the hills of Southern Vermont.
This house has had many lives. The property itself has as well. While exploring the woods and fields, we found an old cellar hole and a beautiful pond that looked man-made with berms not of beaver origin. The old barn and outbuildings themselves were probably not in their original locations and had been turned into a summer camp half a century ago.
We initially looked at various options including leaving the barn alone and creating a new building, dismantling the barn and re-using the frame and moving the barn and creating a new foundation for it. We ended up leaving the barn in place and stabilizing the existing stone foundation.
The design process was intensive and thorough as we endeavored to make the most of the inherent possibilities within the framework of what we had chosen to retain.
The resulting home is very insulated, airtight and warm and cozy in the winter as well as bright and airy.
This project won a “Best of the Best” award in 2019 from Efficiency Vermont

WPC(Wood Plastic Composite)is mainly made of natural fibers and plastic. Added with some necessary chemical additive, such as antioxidant, UV stabilizer, lubricants, pigments etc, and produced by professional WPC extruded under the high temperature and pressure, so it is perfectly integrated the advantages of wood with the strong point of plastic.
May:
The Eco-friendly wood plastic composite we produced is made of:30%-35%HDPE,60%-65%wood powder and 10%chemical additivesThis material is extruded by professional wood-plastic extruding machine under high temperature and pressure,so our WPC has good capacity of UV-resistance and low property of thermal expansion and cool contraction.The WPC outdoor decking we made is much more preferred for outdoor park public places,beauty spot,tourists attractions even indoor stair steps etc.There are lots of types of composite decking,like square hollow decking, round hollow decking and solid decking with different width and thickness, which is good for personal use or commercial use.

What to Expect with a Fencing Project:
We will ask you questions about materials, fence height, whether you have a sloped hill, and what types of finish work you want. This could range from a standard cedar fence to a lattice top horizontal fence with post caps and a top plate for squirrels to run along. Some areas in Oregon have harder clay soil, so we incorporate steel posts to stabilize cedar fences without compromising appearance. Ultimately, we work with any vision that you have in mind, and we will try to address your biggest concerns while keeping the landscape in mind.
If your fence is falling or broken, a fix may be a temporary solution until you can budget for a replacement. A lot of fences won’t last even once they’re repaired, so consider whether a repair is worth the investment.
Financing options are available. We offer an active military and veterans discount as a way to say thank you for your service.

The precast concrete walls are put up in 12 foot long panels, fitted between the columns which have a notch that stabilizes the panels. Stones are part of the mold and then faux painted by hand to create the look of real stone veneer.
