The space is defined by textured sandstone retaining walls on three sides, with the fourth side consisting of dark painted timber fencing, including an outdoor shower area.With entertaining as a focus, the inclusion of a well-appointed outdoor pavilion plays a key role as the heart of the backyard.Three large skylights bring light into the pavilion, while also giving glimpses of the oak tree above.Inside the pavilion, a generous outdoor kitchen accompanies the dining space while ceiling heaters allow extended use through the seasons. A detailed firepit space with inviting furniture adds a great breakout area for all-weather use. This space is defined by an inset herring bone pattern of brick pavers, while the central circular firepit is made of Corten steel.The fully tiled swimming pool with adjoining spa is positioned to connect directly with these entertaining areas and is enclosed by glass balustrading to keep the area as visually open as possible.Meanwhile, pockets of plants add softness and blend the individual spaces.
