144: Cove Site Works

The objective with this property, a 45,000sf area of land next to a bay in Long Island, is to provide for a new Garage, a new Pergola at the existing Tennis Court, and to unify the property with a singular effort using the landscape. Designed in conjunction with Landscape Designer, Joel Loblaw, Inc., the approach to the house is shifted to its western edge, allowing one to travel a portion of its perimeter prior to making the slight descent to the Garage. The space between the House and the Tennis Court is treated as a Lawn bound by field stone and steel.

The materials and form of the Garage draw from the materials and form of the original house, while making for a clean and crisp contrast. The interior is exposed, milled Cypress framing while the east wall and clerestory are a cellular polycarbonate.

The Pergola then draws from the white trim of the house, and subsequent white frame of the Garage posts, and creates a white steel frame adjacent to the Tennis Court.

This Work has since undergone expansion to the West by way of Work 170.
