California Tropical Hideaway

This project transports a California backyard into a luxurious, secluded tropical paradise. The design embraces lush, layered planting—including palms, bananas, and bamboo—to create a dense, immersive experience that feels a world away from the city. Strategically placed zones, from the thatch-roofed cabana to the stargazing fire pit, establish intimate destinations throughout the landscape, providing an unmatched sanctuary for relaxation and high-end outdoor living.

Features of the Hideaway

• Exotic, Layered Planting: A dense variety of tropical and sub-tropical species provides maximum privacy, creating a rich, jungle-like environment.
• Thatch-Roof Cabana: A centerpiece structure that provides a shaded lounge area, delivering an authentic Balinese or Tiki-style retreat atmosphere.
• Outdoor Soaking Tub: A private stone soaking tub area surrounded by lush foliage, offering a unique, spa-like experience under the open sky.
• Zen Garden Accents: Features like bamboo screens, stepping stones, and simple Buddha statues incorporate peaceful elements, fostering a sense of calm and tranquility.

This hideaway achieves the ultimate goal of blending luxury resort amenities with a deep, naturalistic escape, making every day feel like a vacation.
