Designer Gary Orr created this Zenlike patio offset by a colonnade of stucco columns draped luxuriously with passion vines. Small trees define the outdoor room, while seasonal plantings spill from ceramic pots, filling the space with their sweet aromas. A rock-bottom reflecting pool mirrors a sensuous canopy of draping cloth before morphing seamlessly into a polished concrete dining table. Cushioned benches parallel the table for extra seating. A series of intimate rooms fills the garden space—a cooking nook, a sitting terrace, an eight-seat spa, and a fireplace gathering area.
In some spaces, canopies, transparent walls, and plants provide protection from the sun and wind. Other terraces welcome these invigorating elements. This crisp, colorful deck designed by Shubin + Donaldson Architects links indoors and out with its glass wall. Inside, natural light illuminates a master bedroom reading couch. Outside, white fabric flutters seductively in the ocean breeze and shelters two cushioncovered loungers—front row seats for viewing the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. Pots of fuzzy cattails soften the clean-lined space.
