Beach House

NORMANDY PARK, WA

The landscape architecture and design by Studio Terrain focused on creating a mid-century landscape style using low-maintenance, beach-proof materials. IPE decking was installed, providing a cool surface in the sun that requires no staining. Beneath the decking, artificial grass was added for easy cleanup of sandy feet, expanding the entertainment space. The deck doubles as casual seating for large gatherings and can be rearranged for more intimate settings. An outdoor shower mimicking a tropical environment was designed, along with Corten steel planters and a fire pit that define several outdoor rooms. The hot tub was inset into the ground for a low-profile look, just steps from the sea. Small pea gravel was selected for the area adjoining the seawall to prevent tracking and maintain an organic appearance. Additionally, custom paddleboard racks and kayak storage were designed to enhance the outdoor experience.
