This project forms part of a full property renovation, with masonry playing a central role in the function, flow, and finish of the outdoor and spa-focused environment. With many custom elements and design-driven features, the project requires a coordinated approach to sequencing and installation across the site.
Goals
- Deliver a complete masonry scope across spa, pool, fireplaces, chimneys, water features, steps, and hardscaping
- Execute a design overhaul that aligns multiple elements into a cohesive, high-end result
- Complete complex, heavy, water-feature-focused installations within short timeframes
Unique Challenges
Compressed Timelines and Trade Coordination
The project involves a large volume of work within short timeframes, requiring careful scheduling and coordination across multiple trades and design elements to maintain momentum without compromising quality.
Water Features and Complex Installation Planning
A significant portion of the masonry scope involves water features, requiring additional planning and precision. Many components are extremely heavy, requiring creative installation strategies to place and set materials safely and accurately.
Access Challenges
Access is also very challenging. There is no easy way to get concrete or cranes near the oceanside.
Technical Approach
The masonry work is executed with a focus on sequencing, structural reliability, and refined detailing, balancing high design expectations with the practical demands of water-feature construction and heavy material handling.
Key work completed included:
- Custom spa and pool masonry integration
- Fireplaces and chimneys
- Water features requiring enhanced planning and precision
- Steps and hardscaping elements to connect and frame the overall design
