WINNER OF 2013 HPBA VESTA AWARDS The Evolution 360 Series has won two Vesta Awards at the HPBExpo for Best Outdoor Hearth Product and Best in Show! HPC has been selling the ambiance of fire through being the leader in Fire Pit Inserts for many years with our wide range of shapes, sizes, and technologies. What better way to compliment fire than to add the elegance and soothing sound of a shear, running water. Our focus over 2 years ago was to develop a turnkey, self-contained water system that is universal, robust, and is cost effective for our dealers - thus evolved HPC’s new Water Pit Insert. Finally this year we are proud to introduce the Evolution 360 Series - our first in a line of Water Pit Inserts. The Evolution 360 can be installed on practically any patio in a residential or commercial setting - no pond or pool needed! This fully assembled, plug-n-play system comes ready to install - simply level the water pit then connect water, electric, and gas. Finally, enclose with stone, veneer, stucco, etc. to match your patio décor. Operation is even simpler - three switches control the water, LED lights, and fire pit. The Evolution 360 is made of durable, weather resistant, black polyethylene and engineered to last - no on-site guesswork. It is strong enough to allow for the option of our Water Rock to be used to line the floor of the basin. Evolution 360 Features: - Beautiful blue LED lights to illuminate water - hidden under scupper. - Auto fill system- automatically adds water when needed; Low level sensor protects pump if water supply issue. - Filtration- water is conditioned with a reusable, easy-to-clean filter. - Water pump- 3,200 gallons per hour (4,000, 4,800, 6,000gph pumps available upon request) - Leveling / Height Setting- four heavy, 3/4” threaded feet give flexibility of height adjustment and leveling. Easily adjusted on site with ~4” of travel. - Overflow feature allows water to escape safely. - Electrical Connection- simply with a 5-lead, 20’ cable ready to connect. Control Panel incorporates 3 push-to-reset breakers for water, LEDs & fire. - Fire Pit Insert: CSA Certified Remote Electronic Ignition 13SS90HWI 90k Btu, 12” burner. - Copper Bowls: Choose from a 4-scupper design or the new 360-degree model- both handmade with beautiful hammered copper..

The primary view out of the home is on the center fountain which is also a 6 person hot tub. The big surprise is at night when the 10' long automated Grand Effects fire bar comes to life. The traditional pool is accented with Travertine coping and a upper level all Travertine deck. The vaulted ceiling cabana provides a retreat by the fireplace and complete outdoor kitchen. The flanking arbor provides shade for those sitting on the bar stools. Cannon jets and gushers provide visual & sound effects. We almost forgot the diving board since it's recessed into the deck to minimize visibility.

Not everyone has the backyard that suits a hardscape patio. Those situations sometimes call for a different approach....especially in this case! We built a second-level deck and pergola for this family outside of Greenfield. Cedar all around! They also wanted to retain their beautiful views. So we used a cable railing system that is safe and effective at preventing falls, but also perfect for maximizing those views. I think it turned out well, don't you? Sun-Dried tomatoes anyone?

With two different levels uniquely designed, this beautiful multi-level patio creates four different outdoor living spaces that blend together smoothly. The lower level consists of a dining area with space for a table and chairs as well as a section for entertaining at their new custom limestone bar. The second level has a space for grilling and a peaceful area for relaxing in the hot tub. The patio was created with Lafitt Pavers. A Holland Stone soldier’s course and circle inset add an attractive detail, and the Belair walls create a stunning effect while helping to define the different outdoor living spaces.

The owners wanted to keep the long wall of windows but still needed a full working kitchen along with ample seating for relaxed entertaining. The new floor plan design made more effective use of the space, accommodating multiple needs into the kitchen. The new layout created an open galley kitchen with a 13 1/2′ Island and seating at each end, accommodated by a cool-grey custom banquette with 2 tables. A SubZero refrigerator and wine cooler along with dual Miele dishwashers and speed oven help complete the kitchen.

Soft lines were desired in a limited space surrounded by easements, building and pool setbacks. Simple architectural curves complemented the architecture of the home. This allowed the client to have a walk around the pool and provide maximum pool surface area. The spa side dry steps allowed access to the pool steps 18" lower than the patio. The spa provides a strong visual from the family room and balancing the project the fire bowl and rainfall provides a strong visual from the arbor, grill counter, bar and master bedroom. We added a door from the master bedroom to allow access directly to the fire pit on that cold winter night. The fire bow wall provides a screen for the utility transformer and location for the rainfall. Landscaping softens the lines of the hardscape fence, and house walls. The firelight along with the low voltage lighting accent the space at night. The step lights allow for safe travel over the changes in elevation to the pool. The stone veneers match the existing grill and bar counter and the flagstone coping step treads and wall caps match existing stone kitchen patio. The concrete paving pattern was selected to match the pattern of the existing stone kitchen patio as well. The trip to the city zoning board was well worth the reward of providing everything the client wanted in a limited space. Project designed by Mike Farley.
