Located in Rye, New York within Westchester County, the current configuration of this residence had limited access to the outdoors.  An existing deck was underutilized, and the natural flow to the outside was hindered by a compressed space at the door. The solution was to create an outdor living room, a covered 3 season screen porch with an outdoor kitchen, and an enlargement to the existing kitchen by creating a breakfast nook. The deck was integrated into the kitchen by enlarging the existing opening into large French doors, at the breakfast nook, which eliminated the circulation bottleneck. Utilizing local stone and cedar wood, the deck is designed to complement the existing home. Covered with and arbor, the deck will have filtered sunlight, retractable screens, vines and creeping ivy growing up the trellis, all to tie the new addition back into nature.  Stone pavers create a large exterior seating area under an old growth cherry tree, perfect for entertaining large parties; and the outdoor kitchen has a hard lined gas grill, refrigerator, a bar with water and ice perfect for guest's convenience.  The result is an integration with nature, a blurring of inside and outside,  and an outdoor place for New York City transplants to enjoy.
