Portfolio - By Project - Trickling Fire

Much thought and mindful design was needed with this small space packed with tons of entertaining. This design introduced a slight contemporary theme. Bold colors and strong shapes were essential to transforming this back yard into an artistic entertaining space. The 30 degree pattern of the stone patio and walkway broke away from the rectangular back yard, while the circular paver patio reflected the shape of the pergola above. Raised flower gardens frame the main focal feature while a vertical stone wall serves as a contrasting backdrop. Because of the small size of this project, this design concept developed slightly different than others by pushing the custom features to the outer edges of the design, while preserving as much of the space as possible for functionality. The result ended up combining several features into one, creating a columnar style bubbler fountain made from cored natural stone beams which trickle down into a basin of fire!
