Most decks sit beside the water.
The best ones sit on it.
At the Viceroy Los Cabos, the central pool dissolves the usual boundary entirely. Floating walkways, low loungers, and umbrellas set just above the surface, so the water becomes the floor rather than the feature.
You do not look at the pool here.
You are in it, even when you are dry.
It is a reminder of what ambitious outdoor design can do.
Reset the relationship between where you sit and where the water begins, and the whole experience of a space changes.
Pick a seat, settle in, and let the day unfold from there.

Great outdoor design is only half the equation. Someone has to build it.
Halfway through the year, our build partner CPS Outdoors has not slowed for a moment. New projects, major milestones, deeper partnerships, and some of the most ambitious residential and commercial outdoor spaces in South Florida, brought from drawing to done.
This is what makes the offering complete. Elemento composes the space and curates the pieces. CPS builds it to a standard you can stand on. Design and construction under one vision, which is the rarest thing in this industry and the whole point of ours.
To every client and partner who has trusted the team this year, thank you. The first six months set the stage. The next six build on it.

The oldest shape in architecture, reinterpreted for the terrace.
ARCO by Gandía Blasco takes the semi-circular arch, a form that has defined architectural styles across history, and softens the brand`s signature linear rigor into a geometry that wraps around you. Sofas, easy chairs, armchairs, and tables in fully recyclable aluminum, with die-cut triangular backrests that work like a contemporary lattice, filtering the light and framing the landscape without hiding it.
As José A. Gandía-Blasco puts it, a reinterpretation of a universal archetype applied to contemporary furniture.
ARCO, now at Elemento.

Color this saturated should overwhelm a space.
Here it does the opposite.
An ochre zellige shower opens straight into the jungle, the warm handmade tile answered by cobalt fittings and framed by green on every side. It is a lesson in how color works outdoors.
Go bold enough, commit fully enough, and a shade that should shout instead settles into its surroundings.
The tile pops and blends at the same time.
This is what handmade tile does that nothing else can.
Every tessera catches the light a little differently, so the color moves with the day rather than sitting flat against it.

The surface that turns a wall, a floor, or a pool into a work of art.
SICIS composes light and color one tessera at a time, in mosaics designed to surprise from every angle and hold their brilliance indoors or out. A finish for the spaces meant to be remembered, not just used.

A garden is designed twice.
Once for the daylight, and once for after dark.
In-Lite is built for the second one.
Architectural outdoor lighting that shapes how a landscape reads at night, drawing the eye to a specimen tree, grazing a stone wall, lighting a path without ever showing you the source. The layer most people forget until they see it done well, and then cannot imagine the space without it.
The difference between a garden you look at and one you live in after sunset.
In-Lite, now at Elemento.Via @inlite

Two pieces, one effortless afternoon.
The new Marbella Sun Lounge sits low and generously cushioned for the kind of lounging that makes time disappear, while the MAX Bolero brings Mediterranean elegance overhead through its sculptural domed canopy and refined detailing.
Ground and shade, designed to work as one.

Some pieces you choose.Others you sink into and never quite want to leave.
Meet OGO.
The Starfish, seen here aboard the M/Y Rio, is exactly the kind of design that rewards doing nothing at all. Sculptural, enveloping, and built for the outdoors, it turns a deck, a terrace, or a poolside into a place you settle in for the long afternoon. Furniture designed around the joy of living well outside.
A new name in the Elemento edit.

Great architecture builds the room. The right pieces make you want to stay in it.
The Sibipirunas House by Studio Otto Felix is designed around two native trees, with a wooden walkway and a portico structure that filters light through the whole interior. The building and the landscape are doing extraordinary work here, framing views, choreographing the walk in, dissolving the line between inside and out.This is the stage a great outdoor space begins on. Architecture and landscape set the bones. What comes next is the layer that makes it livable, the furniture, the shade, the material choices that turn a beautifully designed space into one you actually settle into.
That final layer is where Elemento comes in. Not to compete with the architecture, but to complete it.
