There are an infinite number of possible designs, and outdoor fire pits no longer need to be just a round pile of rocks. I work with several basic styles of gas fed fire pits when I design outdoor gardens to enchant my clients. The popularity of fire pits and the fire effects they produce in the garden is one of fastest growing trends in outdoor design. The allure of sitting around a fire ring has been around since the beginning of mankind. Fire provides warmth, light, a cooking source and, of course relaxation. A dancing flame has a mesmerizing affect that encourages you to unwind and settle in. The popularity of fire pits, or conversation pits as they are commonly called, has grown rapidly in recent years. Proper design and construction will ensure a safe and enjoyable feature that will last several decades This fully equipped outdoor kitchen is separate from the rest of the living space, allowing the two areas to be utilized entirely on their own. outdoor kitchens are most efficient when it's zoned into logical uses. your cook space should have plenty of prep space, room to set down utensils and stage ingredients, and a comfortable buffer from the seating island to keep guests protected from the heat.

Both guest rooms bring in the best of both luxury and practicality, encouraging guests to sleep in just a little bit later on Saturday morning or have their breakfast in bed. The guest rooms can accommodate out-of-town guests and teenage sleepovers as well as just be a great spot for laying down for an afternoon nap.

In San Diego, outdoor entertaining is always an option. By providing the right space, it excites clients to use their outside home. BBQ islands with ample preparation space along with covered seating encourages activity in this once useless space.

The father, son and daughter all enjoyed collaborating on this project but it was the father and son who greatly influenced the feel of the shared living space by creating their very own masculine imprint here. The father did not interfere with choices his children made in their own bedrooms but wanted to make his own mark in the living area by encouraging the use of red colour and the aeroplane engine coffee table.

Our client wished for a landscape to encourage many species of birds and provide privacy to the adjacent city property. Through careful management and design, we were able to integrate a man-made pond and a naturalized environment in what used to be a monoculture of turf grass.
