No. 56 Fire & Spa · Mediterranean
Spanish Revival Courtyard with Fire Table
Outside a Mediterranean Spanish Revival home with white stucco walls and terracotta roof tiles, a concrete fire table sits on a small stone terrace flanked by woven lounge chairs, potted lavender, and columned arches.
Design notes
Mediterranean design is about shade and thick walls. Look for stucco in warm neutrals, terracotta or travertine underfoot, arches and loggias that throw deep shadow, and gravel courtyards rather than lawn. Water is small and central — a fountain, a rill, a tiled spa — and planting is drought-tolerant: olives, cypress, lavender, rosemary and bougainvillea. Wrought iron, blue-and-white tile and a long table under vines finish the picture.
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
