This post modern contemporary house needed an patio extension that would spatially and aesthetically tie the main house with the pool area. Curb walls and seat walls help transition grades defining the space and function also as foundation settings for the arbor posts. The built-in-place BBQ island sits in close proximity to the kitchen protected from NW winds. The round-formed arbor spans over the entire patio that is bordered by native plantings and rose trees behind the seat walls.
