OAKTON

Within the grounds of a wooded estate in Northern Virginia, a tropical oasis awaits—a sunken pool and dining cabanas conjure visions of a Caribbean escape. Here, the client finds respite from the scorching Southern summers amidst a backyard paradise.

Cool textures of teak, steel, and stone offer a serene contrast to the bold black and white stripes of the umbrellas. Splashes of bright royal blue and coral punctuate the otherwise neutral palette, adding a vibrant accent to the scene.

Purposefully divided into multiple functional areas, the space caters to sunbathing, lounging, and dining, providing versatility for every occasion. However, the pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the steel-roofed cabana, complete with a wood-burning fireplace. As the sun sets and the air cools, it becomes the perfect spot for a leisurely supper gathered around the warmth of the fire.
