Size - 5000sq.ft.


The creation of spatial pockets within the 100-foot long deck allows for microzones through the placements of sun loungers, day beds, swings, and planters. Taking advantage of the existing site geography creates an open pavilion, that sets focus on the linearity of the white pool, and a viewing deck opening into the water-body beyond.


A breakfast patio in the entrance courtyard on the side opposite to the pool connects the front to the primary living area through the living, with the three merging seamlessly into each other upon the opening up of the doors. A corten steel feature wall in conjunction with an existing stone wall forms a semi-private enclosure outside the Gaddie room, for smaller gatherings, with an ambiance enhanced by the sound of water. While the second home completely transforms at sundown, with the lighting used to both define, and enhance, each of the different zones; the pool takes on a dimension of its own, with close to a 1000 fiber optic lights, selectively illuminating ever facets of the pool, revealing its inner joinery.
