This project was centered around a remodel of a particularly nasty 1970s pool. The pool was surrounded by fake concrete boulders and looked like the set of Star Trek the first series.
The homeowners have three children who loved using the pool and loved the jump from the boulders, unperturbed by their visual offensiveness. To replace the boulders, concrete jumping pads were constructed.
The house is a mid-century and the property is beautifully situated at the edge of the Angeles National Forest. The owners wanted a garden that reflected the idyllic location and architectural character of the house, while fulfilling the function of an entertaining but beautiful play-space for the family.
The boulders were jackhammered out, the pool was re-plastered and re-tiled, and an ugly existing chain link fence was replaced by a modern hardwood construction.
Built in benches were constructed and drought tolerant planting installed to cope with the harsh winds and high temperatures of the area.
