West Coast Vibe
Outdoor Living Spaces in Western New York

West Coast Inspired Design, Seamlessly Crafted for Western New York Living

After relocating from Northern California to Clarence, New York, this family envisioned an outdoor living environment that would reflect the relaxed sophistication of West Coast design while complementing their new surroundings. The goal was a luxurious, cohesive space that naturally connects the home’s interior with the expansive backyard landscape.
Featuring a custom pool with integrated hot tub, expansive stone patios, structured planting beds, and clean architectural lines, this outdoor living space was carefully planned and expertly constructed to deliver both visual harmony and long-term performance in Western New York’s climate.

West Coast Inspiration. Architectural Precision. Timeless Outdoor Living.

Every element of this Clarence, New York outdoor environment was designed to capture the relaxed sophistication of West Coast living while remaining grounded in the performance demands of Western New York’s climate. Clean lines, expansive sightlines, and carefully structured circulation create a seamless transition between the interior of the home and the surrounding landscape.

This collaborative project, built alongside Jurek Builders and Chameleon Pools, integrates architectural excellence with advanced pool construction and refined material selection. A custom gunite pool and spa anchor the design, enhanced by a high-tech automatic cover that preserves both aesthetics and efficiency. Expansive patios and walkways finished in Oakville Sagebrush natural stone establish a cohesive foundation, while contrasting limestone coping and steps provide visual definition and balance.

This project features:

  • Custom gunite pool with integrated spa
  • Automatic pool cover system
  • Oakville Sagebrush natural stone patios and walkways
  • Contrasting limestone coping and architectural steps
  • Seneca boulder retaining wall along the pond edge
  • Ontario boulder egress detailing integrated with the home’s architecture
  • Covered outdoor kitchen and fireplace for year-round entertaining

 

A substantial retaining wall constructed with Seneca boulders maximizes usable backyard space along the pond, expanding both function and visual scale. At the home’s side elevation, natural Ontario boulders create a cohesive transition that complements the residence’s materials and color palette.

Under the covered porch, the outdoor kitchen and fireplace extend the living space beyond the interior walls, offering protection from the elements while maintaining open-air comfort. The result is an environment designed not only for entertaining, but for everyday living.

Materials were selected for durability, sustainability, and long-term performance. Every detail, from structural stonework to pool engineering, was carefully executed to ensure this outdoor living space will remain as functional and refined in the future as it is today.

Through collaboration, craftsmanship, and disciplined design execution, this project reflects the level of quality and precision that defines Lattimer Outdoor Living Spaces.
