A modern makeover transforms a small lot into a backyard oasis

Homeowners with a compact backyard wanted an extensive outdoor entertaining space. Tapping Pristine Acres for the job, they specified a pool, a sunken fire pit and a pavilion containing a fireplace, spa and outdoor kitchen. With space at a premium, The design team utilized an existing slope to engineer a reverse-beam-style pool set above ground on one side, with a ledge atop a low retaining wall for additional poolside seating.

The owners preferred a modern look to match their home’s architecture, so the pavilion was designed with a flat roof and hardscape materials with streamlined appeal. The pool deck is maintenance-free porcelain with basalt coping. The kitchen boasts marble-look porcelain surfaces and the pavilion ceiling is clad in white oak.
