Whole House Renovation, Orleans, Cape Cod

Sushi Bar Dining Area, Worcester MA

This Master Sushi Chef renowned for his "uncompromising commitment to creativity and quality", required an "outdoor dining area" for his discerning guests. The space needed to match the interiors sophisticated atmosphere, and parallel his award winning world class dining experience.

Other challenges included proximity to neighboring buildings, street noise, dust, and lack of available space. Through a series of zoning approvals and engineering ingenuity, the client's dream was delivered.

The structure was framed and trimmed with a weather resistant, product "Fire Roasted Poplar". The beautiful woodwork was further finished with a glistening coat of Australian Timber oil.

Clear structural panels were installed on the sidewalls and roof. This allowed the space to feel open on sunlit days, but allowed patrons to dine during their bouts of New England Rain. Sleek inline gas heaters extended the outdoor dining season by several months. Careful placement of sconces and lighting features added a cool urban hipness to the space.

Finally, a deco stone patio, and a babbling water feature pond were installed to enhance the ambiance, but also reduce the sounds of it's Urban location.

Exterior specialty (Poolhouse), Ashland MA

This new 34'x20' poolhouse was designed and built out of the tremendous need for an enhanced outdoor living experience. The owners like to entertain friends and family with their existing home and pool/patio area. Over time, as the family has grown, the need became clear that there was a need for a place to change clothes prior to jumping into the pool, a place to go the bathroom, an overall place for entertaining friends and family.

When the weather turned bad the shelter provides a place to come in out of the elements too!

By building this structures these needs were clearly met. The poolhouse equipped with bathroom, full kitchen, gas fireplace and 6 person Jacuzzi, gives enhanced opportunities for the owners to enjoy almost year round enjoyment in this very relaxed setting. The kitchen location allows for the passing of food directly from the kitchen area to folks outside near the pool.

Tying into the existing sewer line, battling with ledge, and working in very tight quarters to a cliff and existing pool posed remarkable sitework challenges. In the end, the pool house is a transparent fit to the yards beautiful landscaping.
