An important goal for this project was the appropriate use of space, allowing for expansive areas for play and more intimate, secluded spaces. Our designers proposed a generous, configurable stamped concrete patio off the house and a fire pit lounge separated by a screen of plants and a sandstone path. Tatarian Maples provide a sculptural buffer and a bower to the lounge. Balancing local materials with native and native-adapted plants, this courante is an elegant execution of time and space in a Colorado context.
