The original concept for “Over the Ledge” began as a building, but with time, evolved into an open-air structure that sits atop the landscape of the Boothbay Harbor Country Club golf course, allowing golfers and guests the opportunity to enjoy the stunning vistas.
Over the Ledge seems effortless from outward appearances, yet much of the heavy lifting and work is happening below the surface.– Design Team, Over the Ledge
The canopy called for large footings buried below ground; their locations were critical to avoid existing underground utilities, as well as to ensure sufficient depth for the ample landscaping. Aesthetically, the goal was to incorporate natural materials to help the structure blend into the landscape or “ledge”.
It is strategically placed at the midway point of the course, the 9th hole, a perfect stopping point for anyone wishing to relax with a drink and bite to eat.– Design Team, Over the Ledge
The fireplace, kitchen, and bar area were all constructed of locally sourced granite, both natural and honed. Mahogany was used for the sweeping countertop and red cedar for the decking. The deck cantilevers over the edge of the golf course, close enough to witness a hole-in-one on the adjacent green. Many challenges were met throughout the design process due to the immense infrastructure needs at hand.
