We set an oversized spa (6’x12’)  a few steps into the ground. Like any self-respecting watering hole, it gives bathers and their company room to lounge in or out of the water. It sits in a niche of planted native pines, shrubs, and grasses with custom cedar fences. The residents can feel free to be themselves without concerns for privacy. The space is well defined with a narrow path winding through a field of flowers to the open yard and patio. We custom designed the built-in cedar cabinetry of the outdoor kitchen. A wine cooler and fridge, infra-red BBQ, granite farmers sink, and post lamps welcome family and friends every evening of the season. In collaboration with Ferrantella Landscaping, Tom Gilroy Electric, Nantucket Housefitters (outdoor kitchen), Custom Gunite Pools, Neil Paterson Stone Fabrication. Concept through construction - total landscape project costs: ~ $215k in 2002
