They introduced a shaded patio under the home’s extended upper floor and paved a walkway to connect to a sunken living and entertaining area. For privacy reasons, this living area was excavated to bring the level of the land down a few feet.

Raffinato stone walls were used for both aesthetics and functionality: retain the earth around the sunken living area, providing more privacy and creating livable features such as seating benches, counter space, a sleek fire pit and an outdoor kitchen.
Intimate outdoor living spaces just aren’t complete without a spectacular kitchen for all cooking and entertainment needs. The Forno outdoor kitchen is a stainless-steel state-of-the-art Italian-made exterior pizza oven that is guaranteed to bring the entire family together over homemade pies and gourmet weekend feasts.
