The layout of the backyard for this house is very cool. The house has a beautiful view of the hills, palm trees, and other greenery. I really like the simplicity of the house and backyard. It has many vertical and horizontal clean lines, and square shapes (window, pool, where trees are planted, etc). The contrast between the still blue pool against this line of a red/orange fire is very interesting . I feel like the owners were trying to achieve the four nature elements - earth, wind, water, and fire. This would be a great place to throw a party in the summer.
