With over 1300 sf of ventilated space, this grotto has exceeded the norm for waterfall caves and or grottos. We coordinated with Architects, Structural Engineers, Landscape Architects, Audio Visual Specialists, and Saltwater Reef Consultants, to create the ultimate Man Cave. Collaboration with the design team extended for 6 months or more, construction of grotto and pool extended 16 months pass the design phase of the project. The homeowners can swim in the grotto, grab a glass of wine, watch a ballgame, go to the restroom, play foosball, take a nice hot water shower, put their street clothes on and head out for a night on the town. The entire rooftop is a synthetic lawn sitting area, 3 fire pits, Entry System into a 43 long tube slide that drops 11 in elevation. As a Landscape Architecture design/build firm, it was incredible to develop an actual floor plan and roof plan much like a custom home, and incorporate it into a waterscape environment. Continual timing and coordination of this project created extreme time management and material procurement skills. Before gunite, the team shot 30 piers and perimeter beams based on structural engineers specs, routed floor drains, sewer line for bathrooms, sewer vents creatively routed into roof area and camouflaged into the roof top planters, routed all Audio visual TV wires and speakers, Ran special duct work into steel for HVAC system, routed irrigation, lighting, gas for fire pits, and drainage into the roof top planters, routed saltwater make up lines into the future reef tank location, routed lines from outside into the reef for the chiller unit, carefully routed 110 electrical to not interfere with code related issues with the pool and the 110 lines, not to mention the countless suction and return lines for the pool area in the grotto. The outdoor living Industry has exploded, we have now taken this trend and incorporated it right into the pool. Eat your heart out HGTV, we now have a true MANCAVE, that is integrated into the swimming pool !!!
