Calusa Bay Design – Moody Blues With A View

This outdoor living area was thoughtfully designed to feel like a true extension of the home’s inviting interior, effortlessly blending comfort, texture, and organic warmth in an open-air setting. At its heart, a striking feature wall clad entirely in a midnight blue terrazzo material that anchors the space, highlighted by a sleek linear fireplace that creates both visual drama and cozy ambiance.
Above, a medium-tone cypress tongue-and-groove ceiling detail adds warmth and natural texture, grounding the area and seamlessly connecting it to the home’s organic palette.
Generous, fully upholstered outdoor seating stretches along the length of the space, offering ultimate comfort and maximizing lounging and entertaining potential. Additional furnishings are crafted from natural materials like rattan, concrete, and teak to reinforce the cohesive indoor-meets-outdoor design story while introducing layers of earthy character.
To ensure privacy without sacrificing beauty, a custom “privacy wall” was created using oversized planters filled with trees, forming a lush green screen that transforms sunbathing into a serene, secluded escape. In this private nook, plush upholstered seating invites relaxation, while a decorative rattan-wrapped outdoor floor lamp provides a warm, ambient glow as day transitions into evening.
Throughout, the outdoor living area celebrates the same layered textures and organic elements found inside the home, resulting in a tranquil retreat that feels sophisticated yet effortlessly livable. This space blurs the line between indoors and out and is truly an extension of the home’s California-inspired, richly textured aesthetic.
