This project was a true collaboration with a wonderful married couple and their two children, who had recently chosen to make Larchmont their home. They approached us with a clear vision to renovate their backyard into a dynamic, multifunctional outdoor space that could cater to both their family’s daily needs and larger social gatherings.
The design brief called for an outdoor kitchen that would truly elevate their outdoor living experience. The kitchen features a top-of-the-line grill, bar, fridge, garbage/recycling station, Green Egg smoker, sink, and a seating area with barstools. We wanted the space to feel expansive, providing ample room for food prep and allowing guests to easily engage in the cooking process. The addition of the bar enhances the interaction and sense of connection for family and friends.
To ensure the space could be enjoyed well into the evening, we incorporated hardscape lighting to elevate the atmosphere after dark. The lounging area was designed with integrated smart technology, featuring speakers and an outdoor TV that adjusts automatically to weather conditions, ensuring optimal viewing in any season.
A striking double-sided fireplace serves as the centerpiece of the design, offering warmth and ambiance to both the hot tub area and the lounging space. The furniture was carefully chosen for its comfort, ease of maintenance, and its ability to facilitate relaxation. We made sure the layout allowed for plenty of seating, while keeping sightlines open to both the fireplace and TV.
One of the most special features of this design is the tucked-away hot tub, thoughtfully placed to create a private sanctuary for wellness and self-care. The space is designed with serene ambiance in mind, incorporating a custom pergola and soft, beautiful lighting to create a sense of seclusion and tranquility. When the clients are finished enjoying the hot tub, they are welcomed into a cozy vignette with two movable chairs and an ottoman, designed for both beauty and comfort. These pieces can be easily repositioned to adapt the space for different uses, ensuring versatility and effortless transition between spaces.
In the end, the greatest success of this project is the unforgettable memories this family will create for years to come. With a balance of luxury, comfort, and functionality, this backyard has truly become an extension of their home and a space for both relaxation and celebration.
