COASTAL HIDEAWAY

EAST MOUNTAIN DRIVE, MONTECITO

Tennis court surrounded by lush landscaping and mountains in the background.

Beyond the court, there was an existing conversation space that I thoughtfully framed with plants to create a sense of enclosure and comfort. Near the pool, I expanded the existing slate tile area, providing ample space for lounging, while a new pathway now leads gracefully to the pool cabana.

Along the ocean-view fence, I layered vibrant plantings, adding depth, color, and texture to enhance the stunning backdrop. A former fountain, which had long puzzled my client, was reimagined into a striking planting area. Gorgeous terra cotta pots, filled with elegant trees, now bring structure and charm to the space, turning an underutilized feature into a focal point.

This design balances function and beauty, offering spaces for play, relaxation, and breathtaking views, all while embracing the natural surroundings.
