Material play + Tropical
This renovation started with addressing the 2 story home obstructing the Catalina Mountain view. We designed a rammed earth wall to not only screen the neighbor but provide an interesting visual. The hardscape was enhanced with concrete pavers that mimic flagstone and true flagstone pool coping. Synthetic turf areas were added to give the eye a place to rest and create more usable areas in the yard for the homeowner and their dog. The outdoor kitchen was addressed by adding a new grill and smoker. Colorful accent tiles were used throughout this project. To add an additional artistic touch, custom designed and fabricated trellises were installed alongside the pool equipment wall to add screening. Purple lilac vines where planted in front of the trellis to add some of the clients favorite color, Purple! A built in, yet removable, cantilevered umbrella was added over the outdoor dining area to provide relief from the sun. We expanded the yards wrapping around the west to north. A new seating area was added for the fireplace and cacti inspired water feature.
