New outdoor entertainment space for a mid century modern villa, Mandeville Canyon, CA

Mandeville Canyon Road is the longest dead end street in the Los Angeles area. But it’s worth the everyday drive if you like nature and peace. It’s a small community by itself within the Brentwood city limits. It’s green and quiet.

The scope of the project included the renovation of the pool, the design of a new entertainment pool deck, a firepit and a lounge area.

The main caracteristics of the design are:

• Strip lines of grass (by LA Faux Grass) breaking up with the large hardscape concrete deck
• Ornamental Pyrus trees bringing shade to the pool deck
• The reshaping of the pool from a bean shape to an elegant oblong pool including a spa and a wall fountain
• A lounge area with built-in benches and fire pit, & comfortable cushions
• A low maintenance plant palette
• A gravel walk for meditation exercises

This implementation has completely transformed the space. The design of the outdoor now fully relates to the mid century modern lines of the house. Landscape & architecture are a whole. The large deck can now be used for entertaining a large group of guests. At night, the  lightening brings a dramatic effects and emphasizes the modernist landscape combination.
