Northwest Crossing Contemporary Fire Feature

Northwest Crossing Contemporary Fire Feature

What a beautiful, tailored, private place that extends to an area of the property that was previously unused.   The homeowners, a lovely family of four, wanted a place of respite to unwind that is very private, even though it is in the front of their house. We designed the patio around complementing the interior material palette, so that the indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly connect.    The gorgeous Corten bowl creates warmth during cool Bend, Oregon nights while the warm porcelain pavers, that evoke the look of wood, reflect the home’s interior.  This elegant, sheltered space is so inviting and what a wonderful design to create.  Note the porcelain pavers were imported from Italy – you don’t get to hear that everyday!

This used to be an unused space. Can you believe it?

Can you see the new patio? What a diverse screening of plants.
More diverse plantings that are deer resistant!
