The homeowner’s objective was to preserve the natural desert views and create a calming outdoor environment with generous space for entertaining. A restrained palette of materials, minimal landscaping, and low-profile planters were utilized to integrate the project with existing rock outcroppings, mature trees, and distant saguaros. The result is a beautiful space that feels natural and open.

This backyard was designed to be a flexible retreat for family life, capturing the homeowners’ vision of an open, low-maintenance space where their grandchildren could swim, play, and spend time with friends. The layout balances open space and structure without feeling overbuilt. From the pool and spa to the outdoor kitchen and slim view fencing, every element has been carefully placed to maintain open space and encourage free movement. The result is a backyard that feels complete and comfortable without being crowded.

The design balances functional areas for cooking, lounging, and gathering, while keeping the high-end materials visually subtle. The result is a streamlined space that feels naturally connected to its surroundings.

This project was a complete overhaul of a hillside property — updating an older layout while preserving the character of the site. The homeowners wanted to keep the natural boulders, slope, and long views intact, while improving function and style. The design included a remodeled pool, spa, and patio, plus new lighting and planting — all carefully integrated into the slope. The result is a seamless blend of old and new.
