Plutsky Residence II
Santa Monica, CA
This charming Spanish style home in Santa Monica recently went
through a second expansion and garden renovation. Originally, we
had given the exterior a garden facelift with a small fountain and
pots on the existing brick terrace. The owners enlarged the family
room area again and wanted the exterior to be a welcome retreat
for entertaining. In Santa Monica, California, that meant outdoor
gas heaters and a barbeque. We added an overhead arbor and seat
wall which incorporated the gas heaters along with a barbeque with
a Mexican tile backsplash and counter using only yellow and rust
colors with a little green.

| The rear patio still includes the small, three spout
fountain with Mexican tiles you see here to add the sound of water
to the experience. The small garden patio “Susan’s Garden”
continues to thrive from the first renovation. This garden was finished
around the first of May 2002 and some new pictures are included of
the just completed garden. |
