WISH LIST
To create a Captain & Tennille cooking experience for serious California chef.
To tie the cooking and eating elements together under a versatile roof system that offers relief from elements without diminishing the landscape view.
Refine the terraced area on a steep slope to incorporate a chip & putt golf area and a fire circle area.
Embrace the client’s affinity for natural wood, stone and steel.
FUNCTIONALITY
The custom, motorized Struxure Pergola with integral water management offers either blue-sky views or shelter from rain. The sensor automatically closes the louvers when rain starts to fall; the owner also has control over it from his smartphone.
This extraordinary outdoor kitchen includes a wood-fired pizza oven, Lynx Sedona grill, burners, a sink, a fridge and taps for beer and root beer. Low bar chairs also accommodate for extra seating at the dining table as needed.
Warmth from overhead heaters, the fireplace and oven extend the outdoor season. The see through fireplace serves both the dining area and the open patio.
Entertainment awaits the golf-loving family on synthetic turf chip and putt course.
This entertainment space is extremely versatile and allows for open traffic flow and multiple seating areas. A special hanging basket seat has a 360-degree view of the valley, chip and putt golf area, fireplace, kitchen and television.
AESTHETICS
A sunken cooking area and chair-level bar preserve the panoramic landscape view from the patio and creates an outdoorsman style cave that the client desired.
The dramatic, flared copper roof enhances their valley view from the home’s master suite.
A traditional fireplace, gas fire ring and wood fired pizza oven leverage the power of dynamic flame movement to generate atmosphere and visual focus.
Massive wood beams, brackets and an abundance of natural stone create an old world counterpart to the modern louvered pergola.
Open or closed, the white pergola louvers brighten the dining area.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Features a custom flared copper kitchen roof.
An attractive but random stone pattern on the fireplace and pizza oven.
Intricate natural stone paving with contrasting colors at the steps.
INNOVATION
Custom fan beams and stand-off brackets keep heaters the required distance from combustible surfaces.
Buffer zone plantings along the terraces avoid obtrusive railings while keeping guests safe.
A copper pot added to the pizza oven chimney top helped achieve the required clearance when the kitchen roof design morphed from shed to gable.
Decorative 2” x 4” Azek polymer panels add visual interest and screen an undesirable view from the sheltered lounging area under porch.
