Following an architectural renovation of this Arlington home by McInturff Architects, the owner hired us to design a seating area and terrace in the back yard. The lounge seating is integrated directly into the rear deck and a new bluestone terrace creates an opportunity to lounge around a Corten steel fire pit.

Porcea Creek is a combination of gray and brown tones with heavy veining and patterns for a more traditional stone and rustic look. The name Porcea Creek comes from the blend of striations on this outdoor porcelain tile which includes white, gray, beige, and brown tones. While modern architectural trends gravitate towards less veins or fleuri, even in natural stone, there are some projects that have more traditional brick masonry or surrounding landscapes, which require a cottage feel. Porcea Creek is an outdoor porcelain that looks like muskoka granite, however it does not have the less desired maroon tones. The maroon or reddish tones are instead replaced with more neutral grays and browns.

We opted for a built in headboard with built in nightstands spanning the width of the room. We built a custom vanity area near the natural light. We went with black sheers for privacy and burgundy drapery for blackouts.
