This project separated outdoor rooms by elevation and
purpose. The first level includes an outdoor kitchen and bar enclosed
by a privacy and seat wall with stone veneer. A small fountain and weir
above a hidden echo chamber in the corner of the patio lend the space
an ambiance of soothing sound. On the other side of the yard is another
raised patio and seat wall designed to conceal a sunken hot tub, and provide
intimate privacy. The lowest level joins these separate spaces and provides
a unique "middle ground" with a warm outdoor fireplace available
to each space which also provided additional privacy from the community
sidewalk along the fence line. Structural slabs on grade beams with helical
piers were needed to compensate for severely expanding soils.
