Marble steppers embedded in black pebbles lead to an outdoor kitchen with bar seating and an ipe ceiling.
Pristine Acres devised an extensive plan for a compact lot in McLean, ensuring that the landscape would reflect the contemporary style of the newly built custom home on site. On the wish list: a swimming pool with a spa and sun shelf; a flat-roof pavilion housing a fire pit and outdoor kitchen; cedar fencing; and underground stormwater management. “Retaining walls are clad in porcelain tile to echo the architectural character of the home,” explains the landscape architect, Kevin Kurdziolek. A sheer-descent water feature anchors the pool scape.
