Intendencia.
Created as a private retreat from the long, sun-filled summers of Pensacola, Intendencia transforms a compact backyard into an intimate Mediterranean courtyard.
The foundation of the design is balance. The entire space was carefully composed using the principle of thirds, with the custom Key West inspired cocktail pool positioned as the central element. The proportions of the planting beds, pool decking, and water all work together to create a quiet sense of harmony and order.
Soldiered Frantoio olive trees stand gracefully along both sides of the pool, bringing structure, age, and a timeless presence to the garden. Layers of Podocarpus create privacy along the property lines, allowing the space to feel secluded and serene.
Old World French Grey pavers complete the courtyard, creating a garden that feels established, intentional, and effortlessly connected to its surroundings.
