For a modern home in Westlake, the backyard was designed as a series of connected outdoor rooms. A broad ipe deck wraps the pool and spa, steps down to a fire table lounge with built-in benches, and meets a sheer water feature at the far end of the pool. Beneath a mature oak, weathering-steel terraces and gravel step down through the yard, and at the front, large pavers lead through gravel and agave to the entry. Landscape lighting carries the design into the evening.
