Close-up of bottom level concrete counter with Ipe cladding. This area includes a custom white poured-in-place fireplace with tumbled lava rock and a concrete counter top with Ipe cladding. We created a concrete basin with a pot filler faucet shown here filled with ice and beers. This utilitarian space can be used to fill large pots with water, wash a dog, store items/objects, or hold ice and drinks for entertaining. Photography: Brett Hilton
