This project transformed an existing outdoor space into a functional, all-season retreat with the addition of a custom waterproof pergola system. Built using white UCS panels with an integrated gutter, the structure provides reliable weather protection while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic. The pergola was constructed on the home’s existing 6x6 pressure-treated posts, originally part of a trellis system, allowing for an efficient build while preserving the existing framework. Structural flexibility was built into the design, including provisions for an additional support post and potential height adjustments to ensure long-term performance and adaptability. To enhance comfort and usability, integrated lighting and a patio heater were added, extending the functionality of the space into the evening and cooler months. The end result is a refined outdoor living area that combines durability, protection from the elements, and year-round comfort—all while seamlessly blending with the home’s existing structure.

Our team built a set of gradual stairs leading from the inside of the home out to the new living space consisting of a firepit and covered eating pavilion. The outdoor living patio made of bluestone pavers sits on the left side of the yard, and in a circular shape. In the middle of the circular patio is a gas-piped fire pit perfect for enjoying the cooler fall weather. To the right of the patio, our team built a new eating pavilion with a covered pergola, creating a functional yet beautiful outdoor eating space. Our clients wanted this new covered outdoor eating area to be usable rain or shine! For this space, our team used pressure treated wood finished with a natural stain, topped off with a rubber sealant on the top to protect from the New England elements.

The grand entrance is full of details with hand-chiseled newel post combined with stained, wooden treads and risers on the stairs. The iron pickets are heavy and textured. The walls are treated with a slight texture to give the appearance of age and the color is a soft, warm tan that lends itself well with the stronger colors used in the many vintage rugs throughout the home. The wainscoting is customized stained wood with hand-peeled wood repeated the diamond shape from the exterior railings and common with an Adirondack style home.

Classical cook's kitchen echoes the timeless feeling of the majestic family room. Viewed from the island seats. Grandkids & honored guests can freely come & go (without encroaching on the cookspace) and treat themselves to snacks & beverages from the twin armoires. The tower to right is a fully equipped coffee bar (cleverly concealed behind pocket doors). -- DeAngelis Custom Builders
