Outdoor Living

Pools, terraces, and hardscape — the part you live on.

Resort-level pools and the custom hardscape they sit on, designed for the way Southern California uses the outside year-round.

Two disciplines

Designed and built together.

The pool and the deck around it share grades, drainage, and finishes — they should share a designer too.

Residential Pool

Custom pools, spas, and water features — engineered into the slope and the architecture from day one.

Hardscape

Patios, walkways, fire features, and stair runs — the masonry that grounds the whole environment.

Why integrated

A pool that ignores the hardscape is a hardscape problem.

Pool decks have to fall away from the coping. Coping has to match the patio. The patio has to drain. The drainage has to run where the retaining wall lets it. When the same studio is drawing all of it, those joins resolve themselves — when they're separate trades, they don't.

Designing a backyard?

Pool, patio, retaining, planting — let's draw them as one.
