Hummock Pond Road

Private Residence

This client wanted a massive swimming pool with outdoor dining and cooking, all on a postage stamp site. Talking things over, we discovered they didn’t really need a big pool, so we set an oversized Jacuzzi spa (6’x12’) a few steps into the ground at one side of the house. As the spa hold such a different feel to the cooking and dining area, we planted thick vegetation between the to spaces. A narrow path winds through those trees and shrubs from the spa 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, in every season.

A Hidden Gem

Steps for folks to hang and chat give the spa a naturalized placement below other landscape features, where one would expect to find a body of water.

Layered Screen

Where nothing but scrub brush existed before, the various heights and massing of new plantings effectively hides a neighbor.

Easy Entertaining

In context with the locale, the cedar-clad outdoor kitchen with tiled counters serves well both for the cocktail party and the family reunion.

Stone and tile

An outdoor galley for entertaining or just to hang around with the proper amenities

Steps and Seats

The shallow descent to this large Jacuzzi spa offers a chance for beautiful steps that act as seating as well.
