Hot tub in Sunnyvale, CA
The Clients felt they were not making good use of the outdoor space they had available; except for the spacious slate tiles patio, the backyard was covered in lawn and used sparsely, except for the hammock between the citrus trees.
We designed a pergola in the corner near the citrus trees which will eventually be covered by a flowering vine creating a cosy sitting area and a quiet spot for reading and relaxing.
Part of the lawn area has been transformed in a more enclosed space featuring a hot tub surrounded by a redwood deck suitable for relaxing or entertaining.
The black bamboo (Phyllostachys Nigra) that was taking over the patio was moved to the spa area to provide a privacy screen.
An extra plant bed was added to separate the patio from the lawn and natural stone stepping-stones now lead from the patio to a pebbled area under the citrus trees.
