In the scenic wooded region of Sparta, The Pool Boss transformed a homeowner’s rocky terrain into a wonderland hideaway! Working with the uneven topography, the crew created a raised patio to house a sprawling outdoor kitchen & dining area. An adjacent conversational lounging area overlooks the free-form swimming pool which is fitted with an internal sundeck, two external benches, and a custom freeform waterfall. This soothing and peaceful vista is completed with a terraced garden surrounding the patio which blends into the cluster of existing trees, providing privacy and a feeling of serenity.

These plants provide privacy for the master bedroom patio and function in the rain garden to collect and filter all of the water that runs down the hillside and previously would collect outside the door to the master bedroom. Here we provided underground drainage and contouring of the terrain to manage and utilize the rainwater. Many of the plants in this garden are native and grown from seed collected in the mid-atlantic states. Whitney Freeman-Kemp

Kirk Bianchi created the design for this residential resort next to a desert preserve. The overhang of the homes patio suggested a pool with a sweeping curve shape. Kirk positioned a raised vanishing edge pool to work with the ascending terrain and to also capture the reflections of the scenery behind. The fire pit and bbq areas are situated to capture the best views of the superstition mountains, framed by the architectural pergola that creates a window to the vista beyond. A raised glass tile spa, capturing the colors of the desert context, serves as a jewel and centerpiece for the outdoor living space.

For studioryker, the process begins with an observational survey, long periods of experiencing the landscape, sketching, noting flora and fauna, and understanding the unique terrain and climate conditions. At times, the design team would stand on ladders and lie down on the ground to understand the results of different ground heights and whether to cut into or build up from the land. One of the biggest challenges with contemporary home design in remote locations like Bozeman is minimizing the impact of development on previously untouched terrain. This particular site offered an ideal location for observation without interrupting natural wildlife patterns and migration routes, allowing for a modest 2,260-square-foot property with an attached 638-square-foot garage and a 290-square-foot covered patio and outdoor kitchen. The home features a 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom single-level composition set against a shallow cut along the hill.

These Lake Crest neighborhood residents will be able to use their sunroom in conjunction with their covered porch, or as a completely separate space. We gave them an expansive covered porch that leads between the sunroom and open deck area. The family will be able to easily traverse the connected spaces for optimal use of their home and backyard. The porch is pressure treated pine. The deck is built with low-maintenance Timbertech Terrain decking in the brown oak color. We used Deckorators aluminum railing, framed in pressure treated wood, which protects the entire outdoor space. Low-profile aluminum pickets are a great way to offer an unimpeded view beyond the railing. An L-shaped landing will sufficiently handle high traffic and takes the family safely from the yard to the deck and back again.
