Del Cerro Project

A breathtaking transformation designed for an entertainment-friendly, family-oriented lifestyle, this Allied Gardens project seamlessly blends Spanish-style architecture with functional and beautiful outdoor spaces.

The refreshed front yard warmly welcomes guests into a revitalized landscape, where an existing pool is now surrounded by lush new plantings. The side yard has been reimagined as an inviting entertaining area, featuring a custom outdoor kitchen island and mini bar, with an extended roof providing maximum shade.

In the backyard, a more relaxed ambiance takes shape. A new shade structure sits above the roof of an existing detached studio, creating a cozy gathering space for family to converse while enjoying the canyon views. A lattice-style overhead extension attached to the house establishes a peaceful reading and resting area just outside the master bedroom.

To soften the built elements, lush new plantings weave throughout the space, while a fresh lawn complements the mature existing trees. A thoughtfully designed irrigation, drainage, and lighting plan enhances both sustainability and ambiance. Addressing site challenges such as erosion, new retaining walls, terracing, and softscape solutions were strategically implemented in slope-adjacent areas.

The result is a beautifully refreshed landscape, with architectural enhancements that further embrace the Spanish aesthetic while complementing the newly created destination areas. Overcoming site constraints like wind exposure and erosion, the final design delivers a harmonious and inviting outdoor retreat.
