Scott Cohen of The Green Scene, based in Canoga Park, California, has created many unique projects, but none quite like this. Nicknamed "Rockin' Moroccan", this intricate patio and pool deck came complete with fire pits, a pond, an outdoor kitchen, and hand-painted tiles.

As part of the project, Cohen built an infinity edge pool to take advantage of the homeowner's magnificent views of the Santa Monica Mountains, as well as an illusion spa that flows over on all sides.

The pool's deck is a combination of precast concrete pavers, cast-in-place concrete coping and stamped concrete pads that were poured on the bias. The end result is a deck reminiscent of the Shalimar Gardens in Pakistan, the owner's home country.

Heading away from the pool towards the house, Cohen and The Green Scene placed strips of grass between individual concrete pads to break up the concrete look. The grass is there for more than just aesthetics. There is expansive clay on the site, so using individual pads helps prevent cracks, as each section of concrete can move on its own.

"I didn't want to have too much hardscape," Cohen adds.

Scott Cohen also built a large outdoor kitchen. Vibrant colors were used, as well as both large and small pieces of green, red and amber glass embedded in the cast concrete kitchen countertop. He placed 1000 fiber optic cables into the countertop to give it an extra element of glamour at night.

There are square fire pits on either side of the pool deck that contain tiles which were hand-painted to the client's specifications. The tiles were used as a decorative veneer on the outside of the fire pit.

"For this client, everything had to be special and unique. She had to be able to customize the work and make it her own," Cohen says. It helped differentiate our work from that of other contractors."

As a result, Cohen and his team were pushed to their creative limits.

"We weren't allowed to have anything ordinary," he says. "It challenged our creativity, and we tapped into everything we knew how to do to create a project that was tastefully unique."
