MODERN ZEN RETREAT
“Tropical Zen”
From the moment you step foot through the gates of this garden you are transported to a tropical jungle, the perfect combination of privacy and luxury. You are immediately drawn in by what can only be described as a modern take on the traditional Japanese koi pond. The entire garden space was designed to be a zen place where the owners could escape and relax. It has become their favorite spot to enjoy breakfast and do yoga on the pond side deck.
Once across the pond, looking through the house to the back, a linear pool is centered in the crook of the U-shaped home. A hot tub sits discreetly inside the pool, just an inch above the water so it nearly disappears. Tile throughout the pool and spa gives everything a seamless appearance and a more vibrant overall color. By request, there is no decking, just clean, surrounding lawn. The backdrop is a contrasting lush, tropical forest for total privacy.
