Andalusian Courtyard

The Andalusian Courtyard at the 2012 Pasadena Showcase House of Design sits at the center of a Spanish Revival home nestled in the mountains of La Canada-Flintridge. The ample courtyard now contains distinct lounge and dining areas with extraordinary views.

Much of this 3500 square foot space is shaded by the 100 year old Hollywood Juniper at the center of this photo.
Andalusian Courtyard Dining and Lounge
Precast concrete pavers and joints create a soft, sumptuous space. While permeable paving has grown quite popular, this treatment revives the home's historic look.

The simplicity of the furnishings allow the home's detail to take center stage, while Saltillo tile creates defined space for the lounge.

As with the lounge, the outdoor dining room is defined by the shift in ground-level materials from the precast pavers with joints to saltillo tile.
Al Fresco Dining
The Venetian plaster table acts as a focal point from the courtyard as well as the home, drawing the eye to the amazing view beyond. Roses fill a raised garden bed lining the far side of the dining patio.
