Project description:
This project began with a thorough process of moving the floodplain. This made way for the new screened porch and pool terrace, which would not have been possible without moving the floodplain modification.
A screened in porch was added to the east of the pool, outfitted with copper screened doors and windows and full HVAC for climate modification.
The pool is classically placed along the central axis of the residence and is visible from all rooms of the house. The pool features a copper scupper spillway deck jets, limestone coping, and hand-made glass tile.
The paving is all hand-made on site. To give the effect of old-world paving, slabs were hand cut on site, tumbled in mixer, and placed with an un-grouted joint.
A firepit area sits overlooking the creek area beyond. Cast-in place concrete columns and jointed timber cover this area to add architecture and intimacy to the space.
