Sixties House

Bold color, clean lines, natural materials, and minimal forms. Welcome to the 1960s! Playing off the architecture and horizontal lines, we used this as our design inspiration. This family of five hosts friends often and wanted a functional and fun rear garden with an aesthetically beautiful front garden. An ipe deck and bench tops bring visual warmth to the period appropriate concrete hardscape. We designed the pool and spa to nod to the minimal lines of 1960s design, including selecting the vertical pool tile and gorgeous blue pool finish. Furniture was curated for comfort, form, and durability, all while using mixed materials that work together without being ‘matchy’. The landscape needed to be suited for the full sun exposure while also bursting with color and texture year round. In the front garden, we anchored the space with matching pilasters bookending the property with a carefully selected stone to match the existing original on the house. Colorful pottery, new exterior lighting, and a custom rear garden entry gate finish the timeless look. From boring to groovy!
