These outdoor spaces were part of a master plan to enlarge an existing Spanish-style residence.

Benefitting from an extra large lot, the house’s new design provided the owners with additional indoor and outdoor spaces.

The entrance courtyard, with cascading wall fountain, presents itself as a refuge from the street. Planting by the owner’s wife, who is an avid gardener, further enhances this experience.

The charming outdoor shower, located in the side yard, is a useful addition after swimming sessions.

The pool and tiling were also designed by the architect.

With its sympathetic integration to the house design, and stunning plantings, this entire project flows seamlessly from one space to the next.
