This modern landscape incorporates linear arrangements of both plantings and hardscape, the soft textures of the garden contrast the crisp lines of the bluestone patio and steps. Monolithic steps and bank plantings provide a transition between the outdoor dining and lawn terrace areas above to the center steps of the pool. The pool steps have a sunshelf and spa flanking either side, leaving a swim lane open for the full length of the pool.

POOL The swimming pool was fully suspended above the plantroom and balance tanks. It is a 25.0m x 1.8m lap pool featuring an infinity edge and gutter for the majority of the length of the pool. The pool provides a structural element for the house with the walls supporting five significant concrete columns that support the levels above. Careful set out was required to ensure these were in the right place as they continued for two levels above. As the pool was constructed above the plantrooms and adjacent to the basement considerable focus was on the waterproofing detail and installation. The pool is fully tiled with Bisazza ‘Salice’ glass mosaics which roll over the infinity edge into the gutter. Three large glass panels were installed measuring 2.15m x 3.15m each, providing windows into the basement and wine cellar below. Each panel weighed around 180kgs. As an extension to the lap pool there is a shallow water feature that is an extra 5.0m long, giving the lap pool the appearance of continuing forever. The pool includes solar and gas heating, in floor cleaning and multi coloured lights. SPA The 4.3m x 1.4m raised spa is constructed on the second level balcony with unsurpassed bayside views across to the city. Designed with a breathtaking four sided infinity edge and ethanol fireplace, the impact is unquestionable. Enhancing the ambience are two multi coloured lights in the spa with perimeter fibre optic lighting from the gutter lighting up the outside walls. Included in the spa are several jet combinations with single, dual and a combination six jet ‘super jet’ included for a powerful back massage. The spa has its own filtration and heating system with in floor cleaning, gas heating and separate jet pump. All of the equipment is installed at sub base level. The spa is tiled with Bisazza GM Series glass mosaic both internally and on the external walls. Water spills over the tiled walls into a concealed gutter and then to the balance tank in the sub base level. All plumbing to the balance tank and plantroom is concealed in shafts within the building. Much of the work in this project is hidden behind the walls with countless hours spent both designing and installing the plumbing systems which had to be installed in stages as the building was constructed. Due to the location of the spa it has been both fully waterproofed and constructed on a sound isolation system to ensure comfort to those in the rooms below. The separate pool and spa equipment systems are tied together via a Pentair Intellitouch automation system. All of the equipment can be operated by a computer or mobile device for customer convenience. This pool and spa has been designed and constructed with premium materials, equipment and systems to provide an ultimate level of sophistication. The design is completed by installing practical and easy to use elements that add to the overall functionality of the installation.

Plenty of seating, flower beds and flower pots make a beautiful view in this backyard.

Il progetto di restyling e di arredo per questa villa moderna in fase di costruzione, ha voluto unire contemporaneità e tradizione, tema importante nei nostri progetti. Dell’architettura della Costa Smeralda abbiamo recuperato i colori caldi e tenui, la sensazione di uno spazio avvolgente, quasi naturale, declinato in chiave moderna e lineare. L’ambiente principale, la zona giorno era caratterizzata da un corridoio stretto che con due pareti inclinate si affacciava bruscamente sulla sala. Per armonizzare il rapporto tra gli ambienti e i cambi di quota, abbiamo scelto di raccordare le linee di pareti e soffitto con un rivestimento in granito rigato, che richiami i lavori di Sciola e impreziosisca l’ingresso. Il decoro rigato viene richiamato in altri elementi di arredo, come nella camera da letto e nel bagno, nei pannelli in rovere che rivestono la testiera del letto e il mobile lavabo. Il granito si ripropone nel rivestimento della piscina, nei complementi di arredo e nel top cucina. Nel soffitto, il tono grigio chiaro luminoso del granito viene riproposto all’interno delle campiture centrali. Il richiamo alla tradizione è presente anche negli elementi di decoro tessile utilizzati in tutta la casa. In sala, i toni neutri e giallo oro dei tappeti di mariantoniaurru, richiamano la tradizione in maniera contemporanea e allo stesso modo il pannello Cabulè, disegnato dallo studio, impreziosisce la camera da letto e ne migliora l’acustica. Per la cucina è stato scelto, infine, un look semplice, total white, adatto ad un ambiente funzionale e luminoso. Gli arredi sono tutti in legno, granito e materiali tessili; veri, quasi rustici, ma al tempo stesso raffinati. The project involves a detailed restyling of a modern under construction villa, and it aims to join contemporary and traditional features, such as many of our projects do. From the Costa Smeralda architecture, we borrowed warm and soft colors, and that atmosphere in which the environment seems to embrace the guests, and we tried to translate it into a much modern design. The main part of the project is the living room, where a narrow hall, would lead, through two opening walls, abruptly facing the wall. To improve the balance between hall and ling room, and the different ceiling heights it was decided to cover the walls and ceiling with striped granite covering, recalling Sciola’s work and embellishing the entrance. Striped decor recurs throughout the house, like in the walnut panels covering the bedroom headboard and the bathroom sink cabinet. Granite is present on the pool borders, in furniture pieces and on the kitchen top. The ceiling, thanks to a light grey shade, recalls the granite impression. In the living room, golden yellow details appear in mariantoniaurru carpets, while in the bedroom, Cabulè textile panels, designed by the Studio, improve acoustic performance. For the kitchen we picked out a simple, total white look, to focus on its feature of functional and luminous environment. All the furniture pieces are made of natural wood, granite or textile material, to underline the feeling of something true, rustic but at the same time sophisticated. Traditional elements are also present, all the while translated in modern language, on many textile furnishing accessories chosen.

The Ryan Hughes Design team seized every opportunity to insert fun and entertainment in the design of Keystone Falls. The acrylic window between the pool and the sunken fire pit lounge wasn’t just a cool but an unexpected viewport; It also checked the box for family entertainment. It is a playful element for the kids from which they can watch each other swim or make faces at the adults seated around the American Fireglass custom built fire pit.
