back yard inspiration

Love the mid century styling of this structure, simplicity, high wall on one side (but ipe?) Replace fireplace with a niche to house industrial clock sign?

Q

artistically lit wall behind seating area could be a nice screen between us and neighbors, and add cozy to fire pit area. Depends on location of fire pit area. Was thinking the vintage couch could be for near firepit so just a wall rather than wall and bench??

Q

varied long concrete strips create "art" with open/unplanted space. Like that the strips are not all uniform spacing.

Q

below bocce an open area with pea gravel circle for table, display of sculptural heads? Or put concrete there and double as hoops area.

Q

nice bench coming out of retaining wall

Q

plantings/color palette

Q

kitchen area backed to retaining wall/plant area. Shorter or no backsplash though.

Q

interesting hill layout with box at bottom

Q

spaced pavers, division of dif areas, plantings

Q

simple kitchen backed to retaining wall

Q

stucco cabinet base to match house??

Q

Like this style of pavers with space between for areas beyond the immediate pool on the shed end...a likely location for fire pit. Maybe run pavers on diagonal from pool?

Q

cool fence or could be a divider

Q

divider, retaining wall with seating in front

Q

Like this concrete waterfall countertop and wood front cabinets

Q

structure with partial wall. thinking something like the size of this wall for giant clock niche

Q

could use this niche idea (w/o cover) for clock in a structure wall. Clock needs to be protected some from elements with roof and access to electricity.

Q

concreteworks in oakland has oversized pavers

Q

Divider wall

Q

retaining wall with grid pattern

Q

retaining wall

Q

Divide bedroom end of yard with doorway?? Maybe too closed...but this looks cool.

Q

small deck near pool to feature vintage lounge chairs? Not stepped though.

Q

varied height walls, sculptural planting with open spaces. I keep going back to stuff like this.

Q

Our yard has so many angles. I like geometric...and concrete circle (or pea gravel) areas could work well in our layout. Especially for one big flat area below bocce, maybe a smaller one outside master bedroom...or a possibility in other locations if we decide to lose the pool.

Q

I envision the raised area for bocce something like this layout with the court and then a path running in front. Smaller than regulation bocce size.

Q

railroad tie steps up to bocce area at short side near house??? And then a second set of wood steps down to 'circle' area below.

Q

Nice simple structure, except if structure stays where it is I envision counter along back of structure with open front...because it is so close to house.

Q

Love the bench built into wall.

Q

Like this retaining wall with planter box combo.

Q

nice size firepit. simple. concrete.

Q

I really like this type of grid format wall. Very mid century. ;) Possibly for lower bocce area retaining wall?

Q

Option to extend shaded area? Like the thick metal supports/roof frame.

Q

Our front walk is big offset concrete slabs. Back walk could incorporate that scale, patterning.

Q

sculptural plants, great colors
