Where Dance, Relaxation, and Family Converge.
In the heart of Bethesda, MD, this compact backyard has been transformed into a multifaceted retreat that defies its modest dimensions. Overcoming space constraints with ingenuity, the design team created a harmonious balance between a refreshing plunge pool and versatile living areas. The pool’s oversized, exposed beam edge doubles as ample seating, keeping everyone close to the water. A cleverly positioned deck and walkout in the back left corner of the home preserve precious square footage while providing seamless access to this backyard paradise. The geometric patterns of the fence evoke a Moroccan aesthetic, adding an exotic flair that complements the space’s primary function as a dance floor for the homeowner, a professional belly dancing instructor. From intimate family gatherings to small soirées, this sumptuous outdoor haven effortlessly transitions between roles – a cool respite on hot days, a stage for graceful performances, and a cozy nook for alfresco dining, all wrapped in an ambiance of understated elegance.
