The goal for this typical Hollywood, CA bungalow style house was to expand the living space by creating an outdoor room in the small and odd shaped back yard as well as creating a relaxing retreat away from the busy city life just outside the front door.

The dark grey board pressed concrete firepit sits in contrast to the light grey sand finish pavers that jog through the space adding movement and style. To accommodate this mostly shady area, the drought tolerant plant palette is focused around a Podocarpus hedge and shade tolerant plantings such as Agave Attenuata and Juncus Patens.
