What happens here
Below the upper patio, a circular fire pit area is designed. This area is slightly sunken and accessible via steps from the upper patio, creating distinct zones for different activities. The fire pit is a central feature, surrounded by built-in seating made from complementary hardscape materials, offering a cozy gathering spot. The herringbone pattern pavers used in this area add visual interest and define the space.
Goal: Create a sunken, circular fire pit area with built-in seating for social gatherings.
