Front courtyard concept design

This design-in-progress will create a much more dramatic entry to the front yard of this home, located on the northwest side of Tucson. The homeowners were looking for an old-world, Santa Fe style entry that would detract from their large garage doors, currently dominating the view of their home. The design is progressing to include a radial, tumbled paver pattern with a large fountain as the central feature, a smaller, more intimate seating area off of the guest bedroom, colorful plantings, tilework and an overall lush feel. A new entry gate will open into the courtyard and the fountain will be placed so it can be seen from the entry gate, front door and kitchen window. We will soon post a photo rendering of the courtyard, as it will look from the new entry gate.
