A low concrete wall forms a lounge space with a cantilevered IPE bench and fire pit. Large-format concrete pavers connect the lounge area to a dining and BBQ space, protected from the elements by an overhead louvered roof. The use of synthetic turf, along with native and adapted plant materials, makes this space the low-maintenance, private getaway our client was seeking.

## Community Q&A

**Q: where did you source the grilling deck ? looks great!** *(in Photo Questions)*

I love the look of the grilling deck. Where can I get it ?

A: Hi! Thank you so much — glad you like it!
If you’re referring to the outdoor kitchen cabinet and countertop, those were custom-built using an aluminum interior frame, Corten steel paneling, and a leathered black granite countertop.
If you meant the decking, that’s a custom Dasso Bamboo deck.
