Elevated Pool | Landscape Creations

Elevated pool and stone terrace supported by a more than 6-foot tall stone retaining wall, creating outdoor living space on a sloped Watch Hill hillside while maintaining expansive coastal views.

Elevated pool terrace built between the historic home's main living floor and lower lawn, with tall stone masonry walls managing the hillside grade and extending outdoor living toward the water.

Large bands of reclaimed granite set into turf create a discreet walking route beneath mature trees, preserving the openness of the lawn while connecting outdoor spaces across the historic Watch Hill, RI coastal estate.

A bocce court constructed on the lower lawn beside hydrangeas, and the elevated pool's stone retaining wall, add a dedicated recreation area without interrupting the property's open coastal setting.

Stone-and-shingle outbuildings sited along a curved gravel drive and broad lawn extend the historic estate's material character while organizing vehicular circulation around mature trees.

Adirondack chairs sit below a tall stone masonry wall supporting the elevated pool terrace; matched to the estate's original stonework, the wall manages hillside grade while preserving historic character.

Elevated swimming pool and stone terrace features a covered living area, and aligns with living spaces in the home to create a mezzanine outdoor enteraining area on the sloped Watch Hill site while preserving unobstructed ocean views.

Parallel stone stepping paths set within turf lead to a gated garden entrance framed by stone piers and hydrangeas, defining pedestrian circulation while keeping the estate lawn visually continuous.

A six foot stone veneer retaining wall supports the addition of an elevated pool terrace, complementing the home's original stonework and managing the property's sloping grade.
