Homeowners on a wooded lot in McLean enlisted landscape architect Oomer Syed of Fine Landscapes to reimagine their mundane backyard as a vibrant outdoor entertainment zone. “Our design encapsulates all the elements of fine outdoor living. An open-air structure is equipped for cooking, lounging and dining, with a changing room/bath,” recounts Syed. “And, of course, there’s the pool and spa.”
Inside the 1,000-square-foot structure, exposed timber trusses blend rustic and modern sensibilities, showcasing form as well as function. A rain-curtain waterfall spills from the gabled roof into the shallow end of the swimming pool. Silver travertine in a running-bond pattern clads the pool terrace, conveying a timeless look.
