A gorgeous outdoor patio we designed to have a fully equipped barbecue area, complete with a fireplace and large elegant dining table. The outdoor dining area works as an extension of this waterfront home, finished with recessed lighting, plenty of cabinets, and a gorgeous marble backsplash. The adjacent lounge area is furnished with sunbeds and comfortable outdoor chairs, dressed in plush outdoor fabrics. Home located in Tampa, Florida. Designed by Florida-based interior design firm Crespo Design Group, who also serves Malibu, Tampa, New York City, the Caribbean, and other areas throughout the United States.

The design objective for this Caribbean Vacation Rental, Deja View in St. John USVI was to open the view from the pool to the Caribbean sea! The original rectangular pool was renovated into an infinity edge style. Lowering the front deck four feet below the pool creates a true open view from pool water to ocean water! No Caribbean Villa would be complete without the Villa name proudly tiled on the bottom of the pool! Blue and green glass tiles are used throughout the pool including the logo, steps, benches and sunken bar stools as well as the 9" splash line and entire infinity edge falls. Synthetic grass and coral stone tiles create the checkered upper deck. www.dejaviewvilla.com

This project involved an extensive renovation of the client's exiting free form pool. The renovation involved growing the pool to create a larger deep end, and adding a large Caribbean shelf. The extension had to match and compliment the existing form of the pool and natural rock waterfall. The entire back and side yard were renovated to include an extensive travertine deck, integral color light broom concrete band, new landscaping, an entertainment center with a BBQ, bar, outdoor kitchen, dining area, large overhead shade structure, and outdoor fireplace.

We gave the garden a patio a modernized coastal design. With large lounge chairs and day beds, unique sun umbrellas, and vibrant blues, yellows, and oranges, we were able to create a cheerful and relaxing space for these clients. Home located in Beverly Hills, California. Designed by Florida-based interior design firm Crespo Design Group, who also serves Malibu, Tampa, New York City, the Caribbean, and other areas throughout the United States.

The dropped deck on this Caribbean vacation rental, Deja View in St. John US Virgin Islands was the answer to opening the V I E W! This ordinary rectangular pool was converted into a modern infinity edge pool. Beautiful Dominican Republic Coral Stone covers the deck for over 5,000 sq. feet. Coral stone was a great choice since it stays cool to the touch and the porous nature is not a problem in the Caribbean where it never freezes. The freezing of wet, porous surfaces can cause expansion and cracking. Deja View sleeps up to 17 guests, so we created many seating and lounging areas in and out of the sun. The Jaccuzzi is sunken down into the deck in the corner providing open views of the Caribbean, St. Croix and St. Thomas. Many textures were used in the building materials including glass tile, white pebble rocks, redwood, coral stone and dry stack rock. www.dejaviewvilla.com Steve Simonsen Photography

When this homeowner’s neighbor removed two, two- story-high Ficus trees, her side-yard became baron and sunbaked. Concrete covers virtually the whole area from the house to the property line, but because the side-yard has a lot of foot traffic and serves as a sitting area to the basement apartment, the owner did not want to remove any of the concrete. The solution was to put up fencing to block the view of the neighbor’s house, then upcycle wine barrels and 55-gallon drums into huge planters. The drums are large enough to accommodate a full-sized tree and provide the added advantage of giving height to smaller trees to provide further screening of the neighbor’s house. Everything was painted in bright colors to give the space a cheery Caribbean feel. The neighbor’s tree removal ended up as a blessing in disguise, because what had been a drab trough-way was transformed into a happy patio.
