Barry Beer:  Founder & principal of Barry Beer Design.

Aesthetic:  Whether modern, classic or contemporary, Barry Beer brings his keen eye for clean, understated, structured & sophisticated design to all his projects -- residential or commercial, throughout California & beyond.

Beautifully executing “less is more” is easier said than done, but Barry Beer perfectly balances modernism with warmth, organic with man-made, exteriors with architecture – whether the design elements are planting, hardscape or water. Best known for his elegant swimming pool designs, Barry’s pools serve as sculptures in their own right. He brings that same vision to gardens, creating soft, contemplative spaces. Through his work, Barry seamlessly integrates the indoors & outdoors, enticing you to spend as much time outside as in, creating the perfect harmony which makes a house a home.
