Directly on axis and embedded within the<br />
landscape, lies the pebble terrace, designed<br />
by Frazier and handcrafted by R.P. Marzilli &<br />
Company. Comprised of contrasting black<br />
and white Mexican beach stones handpicked<br />
for size and length, the curving, flat<br />
terrace paves a singular path to the pavilion.<br />
Layers of taxus, hydrangea, Russian sage<br />
and boxwood surrounding the terrace are<br />
integral to the design. The plantings soften<br />
the stonework, “creating spaces that are<br />
warm and inviting,” says project manager<br />
Chris Johnson of R.P. Marzilli & Company.<br />
“While the hardscape work is one-of-a-kind<br />
and unique, it would be nothing without the<br />
other layers,” he continues, and the seamless<br />
and systematic terrain.<br />
The execution of both the pebble terrace<br />
and garden pavilion required unparalleled<br />
dexterity from the team at R.P. Marzilli &<br />
Company and KVC Builders. “There are so<br />
many great details on this project,” says<br />
KVC Builders project manager Jackson<br />
Mello, every one of which involved a high<br />
level of craft and, at times, problem solving.<br />
Throughout the build, KVC’s Construction<br />
Supervisor Jack Griffin was an incredible implementer<br />
who navigated the project to new<br />
heights, says Mello. The job required the<br />
dome to be built in concrete, rather than the<br />
wood frame KVC would typically use. Due<br />
to the complexity of the structure,“more or<br />
less, we had to design backwards,” explains<br />
Griffin. “The concrete had to be designed<br />
to fit within the finished stone drawings,”<br />
clarifies Mello. “That’s very different from<br />
the way we would normally build.”<br />
The team not only succeeded, they soared,<br />
and every one of the professionals is grateful<br />
to Boch for having had this opportunity.<br />
It is, by all accounts, the project of a lifetime.<br />
“We’ll never have another one like this,”<br />
says Daum. “No, never,” agrees Griffin.<br />
