Project story

The design.

A pergola shades the outdoor kitchen and seating beside the house. The grill and masonry fireplace share a stone wall, with a sofa positioned close to the hearth. Slate paving extends from this covered area into the garden.

Away from the kitchen, circular fire features have their own paved sitting areas. Curved paths connect them through flowering beds and lawn. Stone benches and landscape lights follow the terrace, giving each gathering place a different view of the yard.
