25 Nov How Outdoor Rooms are Evolving into Year Round Environments
Here at Paradise Designs we have spent many years spearheading a larger trend where the residential pool, especially in our temperate Southern California environment, is reimagined as a year-round destination rather than a summer retreat. The pools functions as a keystone with seating areas and outdoor rooms for gathering, dining, or quiet retreat attached.
Our modern approach to the pool environment considers landscaping and plant life, sun and wind patterns, privacy, and structural alignment. The goal of this landscape is to be beautiful and functional throughout the year.
We work for these spaces to remain seamless architectural extensions. By considering sightlines, and integrating structural elements, we create a fluid connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. We tie together fire pits, seating areas, bars, bbq’s, pergola, shade structures with spas and pools to give the homeowner mulitple uses for their new playgrounds.
To blend the structures into the yard, we ensure to layer plantings, permeable surfaces, shade trees, and native palettes to create comfort, manage heat, enhance privacy, and soften what can become a hardscape-dominated environment. Around pools, our lush plant choices shape atmosphere and help blend these outdoor rooms with the entire home.
We are proud to be at the forefront of comfortable, beautiful spaces that our clients enjoy year-round, enriching both their daily lifestyle and investment in their home.
