C.A.T.S. (color, artwork, texture and shape)- a system I developed to help transform outdoor spaces. SHAPE is the dominant element employed in this backyard, poolside transformation. I designed a oval patio area with sitting wall to create levels. A great place for a party overlooking the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Add color- the vibrant reds in the bromeliads (a giant sun loving bromeliad). Artwork- the bird sculptures. Texture- the Cardboard Palms, shell mulch, rocks and pavers all combine harmoniously.
