Outdoor kitchen designer Michael Gotowala of Preferred Properties lsc shows us the elements of this sprawling outdoor kitchen with pop up outdoor TV. Upon the interviewing process, the vision and artistic creativity of outdoor kitchen designer helped him place his company Preferred Properties landscaping and masonry as hands down most desireable Outdoor living designer for the project.  The conceptual,  visual impression included over 36 feet of outdoor stainless  cabinetry powder coated, outdoor pop up television, tikki tempest torches, outdoor soapstone sink, stainless grilling station and buffet all around free floating deck n koi Pond. Ofcourse project wouldn’t be complete without nightlighting to Bring outdoor living to Its fullest expression.
One of the best features of this project was the stainless cabinetry from DANVER, which they delivered perfectly powder coated to homeowner desires. The challenge of the deck expansion was to incorporate home builder to expand deck in a tray like platform so the 30″ cabinetry was lowered eight inches not to obscure the view of the water. This meant Danver designers had to meet with the homeowners, and Outdoor kitchen designer Michael  Gotowala as he insisted raising cabinetry doors to achieve fullest storage capacity.  The tray firmly held the panaramic cabinetry in place while supporting the magnificent granite bench slabs..anchoring the left side was a pop up outdoor TV controlled by switch from the inside of the house.  The right side with fully functional outdoor sink. This soapstone sink is unique in itself for the one piece shape and soapstone material. Staying amongst the Japanese garden theme,  outdoor kitchen designer Michael Gotowala suggested tempest torches, again control with finger tip control switch.
The middle specimen Japan maple is a One of a kind magnificent and irreplaceable 80 Yr old specimen.  A perfect spot for some led tree moonlighting.

Preferred Properties landscaping designer Michael Gotowala keys in on similarities of the elements used in the architecture of this home in the landscape to complement and adorn the appeal of this Connecticut residence. This tremendous luxury mansion began to feel more like home from the outside relative to the interior due to the connectivity of the landscape. The outdoor landscape  design is heightened by emotion and excitement due to the level of extensive masonry, maturity and quality of plant materials, outlay and design of pavers, highlighted by night lighting. Masonry of all types including brick, block, granite, fiekdstone and cobblestone make this luxurious residence even more outstanding.   This video series shows the Masonry phase on its last section of walls.
After the masonry is completed, plant materials begin to be addressed in place. Grading, drainage and bed formation soon follow. Outdoor lighting specifications and requirements then take precedence. Irrigation and sod finish off the landscape project.
