This backyard has a magnificent ocean/canyon/city view, another inspiration. She asked me to transform a drawing that was already designed by another designer. She wanted a more modern but zen ambiance where they can enjoy a spa to accommodate at least 8, a fire, lounge, wine and dine calmly with family and friends. However, they have two cute dogs so she asked me to minimize the vegetation accessible to the dogs, basically a more mineral (less vegetation more hard surfaces) not forgetting Zen
