Design Consultation
This expansive outdoor living space in Greenwich, Connecticut reimagines how a sloped backyard can be used, transforming it into a layered retreat designed for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoors at every level. Located in the Cos Cob section of Greenwich in Fairfield County, this project reflects the area’s appreciation for thoughtful design, architectural harmony, and spaces that feel both impressive and comfortable.
The upper level features a generously sized deck that serves as the primary gathering space, seamlessly extending the home’s living area outdoors. Designed to accommodate multiple uses without feeling crowded, the deck includes distinct zones for dining, conversation, and casual entertaining. A rail-top bar runs along the edge of the deck, creating a natural spot for morning coffee, evening drinks, or simply taking in the surrounding views, an especially fitting feature for homes in coastal Connecticut, where outdoor living is as much about atmosphere as it is about function.
Covered sections of the deck add flexibility and comfort, allowing the homeowners to enjoy the space in a wide range of conditions. Integrated lighting, ceiling heaters, and ceiling fans ensure the deck remains inviting well into the evening and across multiple seasons, while clean-lined railings maintain openness without sacrificing safety or style.
One of the most striking aspects of this Greenwich project is how the space continues below. Beneath the elevated deck, a fully finished under-deck patio creates a second outdoor living area that feels intentional and complete rather than secondary to the main deck above. Protected from the elements overhead, this lower-level patio offers a shaded, sheltered environment that’s ideal for lounging, dining, or hosting guests during warmer days and changing weather conditions.
The under-deck area mirrors the upper level’s sense of comfort and design, featuring ample seating and a layout that encourages relaxed conversation. By activating both levels of the yard, the design maximizes usable outdoor space while maintaining a cohesive flow between the home, the deck, and the surrounding landscape.
Together, the upper deck and under-deck patio create dual outdoor living environments, giving the homeowners multiple ways to enjoy their property depending on the occasion, time of day, or season. Whether entertaining a large group upstairs or retreating to the quieter patio below, the backyard adapts effortlessly to the homeowners’ needs while maintaining a polished and cohesive overall feel.
