Courtyard oasis

The design centres on a new rear courtyard that integrates seamlessly with the existing covered outdoor space, creating a calm and cohesive setting for the plunge pool. The pool sits within a high adobe‑style enclosure, its curved edges echoing the home’s interior architecture. Travertine tiles wrap the house and step down to a lower lawn framed by soft planting and the existing lemon tree, while two gated access points maintain a clear thoroughfare between the house, courtyard, and garage.

Beyond the pool zone, the layout supports easy movement and relaxed outdoor living—true to the spirit of a Courtyard Oasis. A matching high boundary wall provides privacy and continuity, while olive trees, a Pygmy Date Palm, and a mix of succulents, exotics, and natives bring texture and warmth. Suggested furniture arrangements ensure circulation remains open and intuitive, allowing each garden space to feel connected yet distinct.
