This complete backyard transformation reimagined an existing pool and spa into a modern outdoor living environment designed for entertaining and year-round enjoyment. The remodel centered around creating multiple gathering spaces that feel connected while taking full advantage of expansive west-facing views overlooking the Pacific Ocean and downtown San Diego.
A custom outdoor kitchen anchors the space, featuring top-of-the-line appliances and an oversized bar island designed for casual dining, conversation, and entertaining. The kitchen is sheltered beneath an aluminum louvered patio cover, allowing adjustable sun and shade throughout the day while integrated LED strip lighting, overhead heaters, and a ceiling fan create comfort well into the evening hours.
A feature TV wall serves as a focal point, highlighted by a custom copper sheet inlay that introduces natural material warmth and evolving patina, adding depth and character to the contemporary design. Adjacent to the main entertaining area, a floating deck was constructed over the existing slope, creating a dramatic lounge space that captures unobstructed sunset views. The deck is centered around a Lumacast sculptural fire pit, providing a natural gathering place for relaxing and enjoying the coastal setting.
The result is a layered outdoor environment that blends modern materials, thoughtful lighting, and functional design, transforming the backyard into a true resort-style experience designed for connection, comfort, and unforgettable evenings outdoors.

The 7,600 square-foot residence was designed for large, memorable gatherings of family and friends at the lake, as well as creating private spaces for smaller family gatherings. Keeping in dialogue with the surrounding site, a palette of natural materials and finishes was selected to provide a classic backdrop for all activities, bringing importance to the adjoining environment.
In optimizing the views of the lake and developing a strategy to maximize natural ventilation, an ideal, open-concept living scheme was implemented. The kitchen, dining room, living room and screened porch are connected, allowing for the large family gatherings to take place inside, should the weather not cooperate. Two main level master suites remain private from the rest of the program; yet provide a complete sense of incorporation. Bringing the natural finishes to the interior of the residence, provided the opportunity for unique focal points that complement the stunning stone fireplace and timber trusses.

Luxury Retreat was created for a family who wanted more than just a beautiful space—they wanted a home that could truly keep up with the way they live. With a full, active household, their vision was clear: a space that felt elevated and refined, yet warm, comfortable, and effortlessly functional for everyday life.
