Gather around the fire.
A fire feature turns an ordinary evening into a reason to stay outside. Designed into the space rather than dropped onto it, it becomes the heart of the yard.
Fire, beautifully done.

5 ways we do fire pits and lounging differently.
Most companies sell you a fire bowl. We design the room the fire lives in. Here is each principle, and what it looks like in a real space.
Fire as the gathering point
A fire feature gives a yard a center of gravity. People naturally pull their chairs toward it, so we place it exactly where you want the evening to happen.
It is the difference between a patio you pass through and one you settle into.
- Positioned to anchor your seating and views
- Sized to the space, intimate or grand
- The natural heart of the yard after dark
Built in, not bolted on
Fireplaces and fire pits designed into the hardscape, with proper seating, the right hearth height, and materials that echo your home. Never a portable bowl sitting on the patio.
Built in fire reads as architecture, and it lasts.
- Integrated into the stone and seating
- Materials matched to the house
- Gas, wood, or both, engineered properly
Fire and water together
The most striking feature in any yard pairs the warmth of flame with the calm of moving water, each one glowing against the other once the sun goes down.
Seen and heard at once, it turns a backyard into a retreat.
- Fire and water designed as one feature
- Sound and warmth working together
- Unforgettable after dark
Comfort that extends the season
Heaters, shelter, and soft, weatherwise furnishings so the lounge stays usable from early spring through late fall, not just a handful of warm weeks.
Comfort is what makes you actually use the space.
- Heat and shelter planned in from the start
- Comfortable, durable furnishings
- Usable far beyond summer
Designed for the night
Layered lighting around the fire so the space feels intimate and safe once the sun is down, with the flame as the star and everything else a soft glow.
The night is when a fire feature truly earns its place.
- Soft, layered lighting around the lounge
- Safe footing on steps and paths
- The flame kept as the focal point
