scalable entertaining terraces for every occasion
—project description—
This spectacular, ocean front property boasts resort-like, outdoor amenities as an extension of this custom home built with entertaining guests in mind. A screened porch, with a built-in pizza oven, looks out over stone terraces which offer expansive harbor views. An outdoor chef’s kitchen features custom, stainless cabinetry and appliances, ample refrigeration and storage, as well as a prep sink and in-counter, raw bar station. A New England fieldstone retaining wall mingles with Cape boulders salvaged during the excavation. It supports the main terrace which was designed to be scalable from small, intimate gatherings to large, summer socials. Bar seating, a lower fire terrace and a spa niche create additional opportunities for conversation in this remarkable setting.
Large Austrian pines and Eastern Red Cedar provide a dense vegetated buffer. Red Twig Dogwood, Winterberry and ornamental grasses provide Fall interest, while a sun-loving perennial palette, Knock Out Roses and Hydrangea varieties offer vibrant color and texture throughout the usable Season.
