Site Plan. A series of freestanding walls are set within the wooded site. The front of the house is itself one of the walls. The walls curate the visitor's procession from the street to the living room. The house is set far back from the street and is hidden within the live oaks and juniper that inhabit the site. As one enters the site on the crushed granite driveway the house is still invisible. Visitors park against a long wall that defines the parking area and screens the well house, water cistern, and propane tank. It guides the visitor toward an opening between walls that leads to a clearing in front of the house.

When we envisioned the new landscape within the outdoor living space at Solana Beach Coastal Oasis, we imagined we were sitting poolside at a lushly planted Baja Zen style retreat. The owners of this Solana Beach home wanted plenty of space for outdoor dining and lounging by the pool. We enjoy creating innovative outdoor spaces for clients that can check both boxes. The outcome of this serene coastal landscape design has just the right combination of sleek and rustic elements, while being low maintenance. This outdoor renovation also included some eco-friendly upgrades. We renovated an existing sprinkler system so that it uses 60% less water than traditional systems. To keep it easy for the client, we added a custom Ipe wood pool cover box that also serves as a bench. This box contains the solar pool cover that was a challenge to store and an eyesore in the scenery. We introduced succulents and other low water plants in order to reduce the amount of water that is typically required to keep landscapes thriving in Southern California. Additional Design Elements: Potted plants including Citrus and Japanese Maple trees Custom Redwood entry gates and privacy fence Custom Ipe wood bench box that also stores the unsightly solar pool cover Fire pit table installed for enjoying cool evenings Stone veneered outdoor BBQ Stone veneered columns and retaining walls Pool with waterfall Spa Stained concrete walkways and patios with inlaid stone bands Low voltage lighting Bistro lights Teak patio furniture Eco-Friendly Upgrades
