Corona del Mar Remodel

I completed the concept design for this project in September of 2009. The home is located in Corona del Mar and is a private residence. The home is being remodeled and the Home Owners Association has strict guidelines that trees and structures can't exceed 14'. This was a challenge as the homes are located close to each other and the need for privacy is a must. We also wanted to achieve a "California Friendly" (drought tolerant or low water use) garden and introduce new plant species for the owner.

Here are a few "Before Photos" of the backyard. The plan is to demo the exisitng pool and build a new pool, spa, BBQ area, outdoor living room with fireplace and trellis and a new garden. The front yard will be completely redone as well with a new walkway, pilasters with steps, lighting and planting.

Here is the final concept plan. This is the unrendered plan, so not as pretty as the final drawing that was given to the client, but you can see the layout and the space I was left to design with.
