Entertainer’s Spa Courtyard Project in Texas.
GO Designs turned this compact backyard into a sensory-rich desert-modern courtyard centered on a glowing spool spa and plunge pool. Concrete paving connects the outdoor kitchen, cedar-clad dining area, and copper fire bowl, while string lights, natural stone walls, and tactile furnishings create a balanced, inviting atmosphere. Every element, from wall-mounted TVs to extended counters, is purposeful, combining comfort, durability, and El Paso’s regional character for year-round enjoyment with minimal upkeep.

GO Designs transformed this compact backyard into a sensory-rich courtyard anchored by a multifunctional spool—a hybrid spa and plunge pool that glows violet at dusk. Crisp concrete paving ties each functional zone together, from the sleek outdoor kitchen to the cedar-clad dining area beneath a slatted pergola. Just steps from the water, a copper-toned fire bowl promises warmth on chilly desert evenings, while overhead string lights hum with ambient charm. The design balances bold lines and soft textures, with matte granite counters, mesh-backed chairs, and woven accents grounding the scene in tactile sophistication. A signature touch from GO Designs is how every element earns its place: the wall-mounted TVs double as focal points and practical upgrades, while the extended counter at the grilling station invites long conversations over late bites.
Natural materials nod to the region’s roots—note the stacked rock boundary wall built from quarried stone native to the El Paso foothills, subtly echoing the golden hues of nearby caliche. Daylight pours through the open rafters, tracing sharp shadows across the striped outdoor rug, while at night, a gentle cascade of water sounds from the activated spa sets the tone for starlit unwinding. This courtyard embraces desert modern design with discipline and flair, designed to perform as hard as it pampers. Thanks to strategic lighting, climate-smart hardscapes, and the spa’s integrated circulation system, the setup delivers year-round enjoyment with minimal upkeep. It’s an El Paso landscaping story told in warm textures, cool water, and flickering flame—just the kind of harmony GO Designs builds its name on.
