Compose the view from the house

We consider what you see from the principal rooms, where the water belongs in that view and how planting can add privacy without closing the space in. Pool proportions and terrace levels are studied together.

Make access part of the budget

Equipment access, staging and the movement of excavated material can shape a hillside project. We identify those constraints during site planning so the budget reflects the work required to build it.

Planning your Bel-Air project

Requirements depend on the property, jurisdiction and scope. We begin with a site visit, then coordinate the relevant agency review and required submittals as the project develops.

Los Angeles planning

Bel-Air is within Los Angeles. We review the parcel and its applicable zoning and planning requirements with the city.

Engineering and grading

We determine whether soils information, structural engineering or grading review is needed for the proposed pool, walls and changes in elevation.

Property-specific restrictions

Fire-zone mapping, protected trees, easements and any private architectural requirements are checked for the address rather than assumed from the neighborhood name.

Pool safety (statewide)

When a building permit is issued for a new pool or spa, or to remodel one, at a single-family home, California generally requires at least two qualifying drowning-prevention features. Some two-feature combinations are prohibited, and local rules can add requirements. A qualifying locking safety cover provides a statutory exception for a hot tub or spa. We confirm the applicable combination and any exception with the permitting authority. Source ↗

Pool heating energy rules (statewide)

Since January 1, 2026, new pool heating installations must generally use a qualifying primary heat source, such as a heat pump or solar, under California’s 2025 Title 24 energy standards. Read our pool energy code FAQs.

Water-efficient landscapes (statewide)

New landscapes of 500 square feet or more, or rehabilitated landscapes of 2,500 square feet or more, that need a building permit, plan check or design review must meet California’s Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) or the local version of it. Source ↗
