The rear yard improvements to this contemporary home required thoughtful planning of the outdoor entertainment space. Primary among the considerations was careful placement of the 530-square-foot fiberglass pool and terrace for maximum sun exposure, visibility and flow between house and grounds while minimizing disturbance of the natural constructs.

Other design features include a redefined terrace, walkway and side entrance stair for improved access from the driveway below. Ornamental plantings frame the pool and entertainment area, providing seasonal enjoyment and privacy, while accent landscape and pool lighting offer dramatic nighttime effects, customizable for any occasion. Finally, details such as the simple metal pool fence, decorative screen panels and modern teak furniture lend privacy and comfort, completing the home’s three-season entertainment space.
