No. 24 Outdoor Showers & Saunas · Mediterranean
Flagstone Terrace with Sauna and Plunge Pool
Lit by glowing lanterns at night, this flagstone patio features a timber sauna, a raised stone plunge pool, succulent plantings, and a pergola beside a white stucco estate.
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
- Where the water goes — drain, soakaway or the pool deck
- Privacy height and sightlines from next door's windows
- How many barefoot steps from the pool or the back door
