Orca Entertaining

NORMANDY PARK, WA

Studio Terrain recreated this outdoor entertaining space after a major home expansion. Taking advantage of sweeping views of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains, the design allows for entertaining of 40+ guests. Utilizing a louvered roof system and overhead heat for year-round use, the wood-fired pizza oven serves as a central gathering point throughout the seasons. The lawn was engineered to the same specifications as world-class soccer fields, providing fast-draining usability even during the wettest seasons. A hidden structural retaining wall with pin piles stabilizes the slope's edge while also serving as a clean concrete lawn edge.

Maximizing views and entertainment with innovative design, Studio Terrain crafts outdoor spaces that captivate and accommodate.
