La Jolla Residence Built on a two acre site, the new owners of this home wished to renovate the pool and patio area in order to add some amenities that would increase the beauty and function of the outdoor entertaining space. Their program consisted of enlarging the patio area and adding an open-air pool house structure and fireplace, a fountain, a cook center with built-in BBQ and sink, new landscaping, and new landscape lighting. The new design, centering on the existing pool and spa, enlarged the original patio space with a new brick and concrete terrace, flanked by the pool house on one end. A fountain clad in brick and navy blue tile with a piper boy sculpture was designed for the terrace, along with new countertops bricked and tiled to match the fountain. New planting spaces for fragrant Gardenias and Jasmine soften the new terrace, as do decorative urns planted with seasonal color. Elsewhere, beds of Camellias, Azaleas, and other flowering shrubs were planted along the large lawn area facing the terrace and pool and trees were planted for privacy from neighbors.
