A Room with a View in Del Mar

Before:

After:

This home in Del Mar had a narrow courtyard space outside of the dining room window which the owners had filled with a 'plug-and-play' water feature and some tropical plants in pots. We wanted to create a lush view for them that did justice to their homes interior design (Tommy Bahama eat your heart out). Since their windows were tall, we designed and built a vertical waterwall with a basin out of natural stone. There are planting niches along the edges which we filled with exotic bromelliads. The sounds created by this feature along with the tropical plantings placed in the new beds really give the homeowners the tropical flavor in both sights and sounds that they wanted. "Mahalo"to the homeowners who allowed us to bring their inspiration of all things Hawaiin to fruition.
