Swimming Pool of the Week: A Modern Update in Beverly Hills

LA firm Simo Design specializes in updating promising houses without gutting them. Their latest: a 1948 Beverly Hills home on Hutton Drive with East Coast traditional style. They preserved the brick patio, original siding, and windows, replastering the pool dark gray and adding a timber pavilion, outdoor dining, and bocce court.

Brick patio pool — Existing brick patio courtyard with pool replastered dark gray (formerly white).

Living room view — Living room, library, and master bedroom overlook pool; French doors added from living room to courtyard.

Lounge chairs — Safavieh lounge chairs with Crate & Barrel cushions; house painted Palais Royal (Ralph Lauren) with Black Tie trim (Dunn-Edwards). Front door relocated from cramped porch.

Redwood fence — Custom redwood fence in Dragon’s Breath (Benjamin Moore) semi-solid finish.

Green palette — Simple palette of varying greens, no color, to maintain natural feel.

Timber pavilion — Timber pavilion with built-in sand-finished stucco sofas, custom cushions, glass roof, fire bowls from Restoration Hardware. Photo by Berlyn Photography.
