GO Designs transforms this hacienda-style property into a textural symphony of brick, fire, and shade. The entry sequence centers on a raised fountain framed by curved masonry beds, with brick pavers in varying hues of rust, clay, and rose grounding the experience. Carefully pruned Texas sage and boxwood border the path, guiding guests toward a wrought-iron gate that hints at what lies beyond. Just steps away, an outdoor kitchen takes shape under custom pergolas—stained timber lattices that temper the desert sun while casting striped shadows across smooth countertops. The design features a domed, stucco-clad pizza oven as its sculptural focal point, paired with a stainless-steel grill and a full prep station. Subtle up-lighting embedded in the masonry walls brings evening ambiance, while oversized red barstools deliver a punch of color without overpowering the material palette. Every surface feels deliberate—from the tactile warmth of the brick underfoot to the cool shade offered by mature palms and pine. A manicured lawn flows outward, stitched with curved paths and framed in mesquite and flowering perennials, tying hardscape and horticulture into a singular, Southwestern story. Cantera planters and terracotta pots punctuate the transitions between zones, echoing the home’s arched doorways and saltillo rooflines without upstaging them. This is desert modern design with roots—equal parts functional and regional, built to endure long summers and longer evenings. GO Designs leveraged timeless materials and strategic lighting to craft a layered outdoor living space that welcomes both lively gatherings and quiet moments. Here, even the scent of woodsmoke feels intentional.
