"Sperry was an incredible company to work with," says Crestin. "Matt Sperry, head of the division, personally visited the property and designed a sail that would provide the maxi- mum amount of shade from the sun and would minimize water runoff." The piece fills the space, and is both fashionable and func- tional with an understated elegance. "The shade is extremely low maintenance for the client, as well," Crestin adds. "The company visits the property at the beginning and end of each season to put up and take down the shade." Crestin also created a grill area and island that would provide a more casual dining experience. "The grill area was a bit narrow, so a full-sized table wasn't right. In the end, we went with another lightweight concrete piece that was half the size of the dining table—it serves as a sort of island with stools for the family to gather by the grill. The end result is a beautiful, serene space that is first and foremost functional. "Toward the end of the project, I visited the property to check out a few finishing touches," Crestin recalls. "When I arrived, I found the kids in the pool house. They'd drawn all the drapes and pushed the furniture together, and they were having a Jaws movie night with some friends. It was such a cool moment for me, to see them really using the space, and a great reminder that real life happens when the design is done." A geode accent table adds a pop of shine to the seating area.
