Example of a minimalist home design design in Los Angeles

Bold, clean, and elemental—this custom linear firewall makes a dramatic statement in a hillside poolside setting. Designed by Cooke to blend function with form, the sleek matte-black structure stretches seamlessly along the landscape, offering a ribbon of fire that adds warmth, ambiance, and modern edge. Perfect for contemporary outdoor environments, this installation transforms a simple retaining wall into a striking visual feature—doubling as a privacy element and architectural focal point. Paired with native plantings and minimalist hardscape, the firewall’s open flame provides a dynamic contrast to the stillness of the adjacent pool and natural hillside views. Engineered for high performance and outdoor durability, this design is a prime example of Cooke’s commitment to precision craftsmanship and modern American-made luxury.

Pool - modern pool idea in Los Angeles

An inviting design that integrates the natural surroundings to create a beautiful backdrop to this contemporary pool/spa. An over-sized sunshelf , custom chopped stone spillway spa, and an elegant firewall with brass scuppers are as inviting as they are beautiful.

A contemporary pool incorporating natural elements to soften the linear lines, blending beautifully with the open space. A custom chopped stone spa spillway and brass scuppers, accenting the dramatic firewall, create an elegant focal point.

Pebble Fina plaster, by Pebble Technology, in Bella Blue is the perfect compliment to the English Walnut travertine decking and coping. The over-sized sunshelf and seat bench, that runs along the perimeter of the wall, allow you to sit and enjoy the lovely view and exquisite water/fire features.

This project combines high end earthy elements with elegant, modern furnishings. We wanted to re invent the beach house concept and create an home which is not your typical coastal retreat. By combining stronger colors and textures, we gave the spaces a bolder and more permanent feel. Yet, as you travel through each room, you can't help but feel invited and at home.

This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here. If you hate your brick or just want something unique this is a great option! Photo credit: Jeff Murrey
