Project with Tight Knot Design Build.
This backyard built environment bonanza features a pergola of wooden joinery, custom built hot tub, and multi level deck with painted shou sugi ban railings and skirting.
Starting off sketching and scheduling on site.
Going over details, particularly fastening the pergola to the house, with the architect and her engineer.
Its becoming a winter wonderland with the stair lights on.
We designed and built this custom hot tub with the technical help of Gene Trumbull who we found through his website custombuiltspas.com.
This pressure treated wood pergola has no hardware to increase the clean modern aesthetic. Timber joinery, planing, and painting brought this element of the project to match the homes existing trim and build upon the new deck’s immaculate and vanilla visual.
We used ledgers everywhere we could because under the grass the ground was full of bricks and stones of demolition from prior construction cycles.
The design began with a high contrast between the railing skirting and the posts, fascia, decking, pergola.
The client opted for more of a winter wonderland feel.
Some days the light is so beautiful and colors so vibrant.
And some days its just us.
These are some photos towards the completion of the project.
