PAVILION

A delightfully whimsical “twin peaks” roof of standing-seam metal tops up the enclosed grilling kitchen, wood-burning fireplace and spacious party space next to the pool. Fold-away glass doors open to the deck, where artificial turf grows not at all between marble slabs, allowing water to drain and keeping the site much cleaner and prettier than live turf ever could.

Flipping our attention to the underside of the two gables on the pavilion roof, above, you can see what it means for the folks constructing those gables and the ceiling beneath it. The paneled ceiling reaches right up into the peaks and valleys of the intricate roof joists, requiring complex calculations and cuts to execute Richard’s design for the open ceiling. All those angles! Joe Kelly, Mark Townsend and their team came through, of course.
