{"product_id":"ocean-courtyard-compound","title":"Ocean Courtyard Compound | Cabo San Lucas, Mexico","description":"\u003cp\u003eDesigned for a double-lot residence within the El Dorado Golf \u0026amp; Beach Club, this contemporary garden extends Ricardo Legorreta's architecture through a sequence of lush courtyards, pools, and outdoor living spaces. Mature specimen palms and carefully selected plant material established an immediate sense of permanence while softening the bold architectural forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet within the El Dorado Golf \u0026amp; Beach Club in Cabo San Lucas, this residence occupies a rare double lot, allowing the landscape to unfold as a collection of interconnected outdoor rooms rather than a single garden. Working closely with Ricardo Legorreta's architecture, the design balances expansive entertaining spaces with intimate courtyards that create privacy, shade, and moments of quiet throughout the property.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the project's primary challenges was establishing a mature landscape from the day of installation. Large specimen palms and mature nursery-grown trees were carefully selected and placed to provide immediate scale and enclosure, while layered tropical planting reinforced the feeling of a long-established garden. Every significant palm, tree, and planting composition was individually positioned to create a cohesive landscape from the outset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA particularly unique design challenge occurred within one of the interior courtyards, where structural constraints beneath the paving eliminated the possibility of planting directly in the ground. A raised planter was integrated into the architecture, providing sufficient soil volume for a specimen tree while preserving the clean geometric character of the courtyard and introducing a vertical focal point that enriches the surrounding living spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe completed landscape weaves architecture, water, planting, and outdoor living into a seamless composition, creating a contemporary retreat that feels both refined and deeply rooted in the character of Cabo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"margin-top: 2.5em; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"project-credits\" style=\"margin-top: 1.5em; font-size: 0.88em; color: #666; line-height: 1.6; letter-spacing: 0.01em;\"\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e El Dorado Golf \u0026amp; Beach Club, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eArchitect:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ricardo Legorreta\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eLandscape Architect:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mia Lehrer + Associates\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eResponsibilities:\u003c\/strong\u003e Design, Construction Drawings, Construction Observation\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"TimothyJohn LA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54218020323627,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/3993\/7835\/files\/ocean_courtyard_compound_08.jpg?v=1784709073","url":"https:\/\/www.timothyjohnla.com\/products\/ocean-courtyard-compound","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
