No. 46 Fire & Spa · Mid-Century Modern
Outdoor Fireplace Framed by Breeze Block Wall
A covered mid-century modern courtyard features an outdoor fireplace with a raised hearth, a flat roof with post-and-beam overhangs, patterned breeze block walls, concrete pavers, potted citrus, and agave plantings in daylight.
Design notes
Mid-century modern design lines everything up with the house. Look for flat roofs and post-and-beam overhangs, walls of glass, breeze-block screens, terrazzo or large concrete pads with gravel joints, and a rectangular pool set square to the architecture. Planting is sculptural and sparse — agave, yucca, olive, citrus, a Mediterranean fan palm — and colour comes from a single accent: an orange door, turquoise water, a yellow umbrella.
What to look for
- Conversation-distance seating all the way around
- Setback from structures, fences and branches
- A dry, lit path back to the house
