Lake Retreat

Access to the water and plenty of space for entertainment drove the design for this garden. A

deck up at the house and a very narrow walk down to the water were removed to make way for

a multi-level series of spaces. The upper kitchen and dining patio at the first floor level flows

down to a second level for seating around a fire table. The waterfall stairs lead down to the

lowest level and dock area complete with a wood burning fire pit and seat wall for guests. The

walls are accented by six small fire bowls set on stone pillars that match the gently curved

retaining walls. The final piece of the project is a travertine patio where the owners collection of

Salterini furniture is displayed.
