I was recently working with a client who lives in the Pacific Palisades in California and they wanted to put a pool in their back yard. After consulting with them and getting what they like and dislike, I came up with a couple of designs and presented them. Their favorite design is the one I have displayed below in a 3D Rendering.
EXISTING BACKYARD:
They are currently in the process of a full house remodel to give their house a more Spanish look.
We worked on a design whereby we could keep the palm trees, make it more Mediterranean, have flagstone, water features, a large spa and keep it green. The back yard also slopes up so we had to layer the elevation changes properly. Working with the space at hand and attempting to maximize on what I could put back there with out killing the yard and staying within the city codes, I came up with this (click on the images to expand and see in detail):

Your feedback on this project and the design is welcome!
Oh wow.. I love your design. This looks absolutely amazing. It also fits in with the Spanish style. I hope they like it because I know I love it.
Thanks Kay! Right now it is a bit over budget for them since they are remodeling their entire house along with the yard. Hopefully I can cut it down a bit and still be within their budget. Your blog is wonderful! I signed up to follow it.
It’s luxurious. As I’ve been going through your site, what I really like is how conversational you are and how much you bring organzation to beautiful places. The backyard in this case is beautiful already but you’ve found a way for them to get what they want and maintain the beauty of the place.
Yeah, I’m glad it conveys! I’ll post every yard I get to design so stay tuned.
Really cool site and photos. I’m interested in learning more about your 3D process of rendering. What are you using? Sketch-up?
I use Auto Cad Architecture as well as Viz Terra or Pool Studio. Viz Terra and Pool Studio are very very simple.
