Contrasting themes between traditional and contemporary, light and dark, and geometric and organic makes the simple design compelling. The L-shaped swimming pool surrounds the raised deck, which is a perfect spot to relax and entertain. Key materials, like weathering steel, ipe wood and stone, are used throughout the space to create a unified backyard.

The goal for this rustic meets contemporary home is to create a cohesive design that unifies the entire space yet maintains the naturalistic environment. A pebble bed stream brings a soothing water feature to the outdoor space, while strategic plantings bring liveliness to the front yard.

This outdoor space is a true retreat with an elegant stone patio surrounding the L-shaped pool and hot tub. A custom-designed automatic pool cover is kept out of sight by cantilevered pool coping.

Steel mixes with stone and wood for a rustic meets contemporary outdoor space. A sleek pergola provides shade over the raised deck, while streamlined stairs lead down to backyard and swimming pool area. Well-planned landscaping creates an organic yet sculptural design that seamlessly blends all the outdoor areas.
