Created for a celebrated chef and his family, this Corona Del Mar retreat invites relaxation and entertainment. The outdoor area showcases a refined fusion of rustic elegance and understated coastal touches, all set against a backdrop of lush greenery. Captured in detail by Riley Starr Photography, the expansive grounds are a testament to the meticulous design work of Garden Studio Design, achieving a flawless balance between natural beauty and functional luxury.

From the landscape designer… Perched atop the hillside in the serene setting of Corona Del Mar, California, “Quiet Cove” embraces the coastal lifestyle with a rustic twist. Harmonizing Eric Olsen’s unique blend of modern and rustic architectural elements with Elizabeth Brooke Designs’ bespoke interior design, “Quiet Cove” seamlessly extends its indoor ambiance to the outdoors.

Reflecting the homeowners’ passion for culinary delights (he is a restaurant owner and well known chef), the landscape features a variety of amenities tailored for al fresco dining and entertainment. A genuine brick pizza oven, barbecue island, and dedicated dining enclave with a grand fireplace invite guests to indulge in Italian flavors amidst the warmth of the California sun. Designed for this youthful and dynamic family, the landscape seamlessly blends functionality with aesthetic allure. An abundant grass area in the backyard beckons little ones to play, while a sprawling sun deck located just off the pool house/casita offers a haven for summer leisure.

In addition to its culinary attractions and ample entertainment spaces, the property boasts an array of unique features designed to enhance the outdoor experience. From a dual jacuzzi-cold plunge within the pool design, to a putting course tucked discreetly in the side yard, private outdoor shower located just off the primary bath, and raised edible gardens with the perfect environment for year-round gardening- every detail is meticulously crafted to elevate leisure and recreation.

This project emerges as a sanctuary for endless entertainment under the sun, embodying a harmonious fusion of natural beauty and functional sophistication.
