Set into a gentle slope, this sunken fire pit area was designed to create an inviting, sheltered outdoor space that encourages gathering while blending naturally with the woodland surroundings. The circular layout is framed by a dynamic planting palette—ornamental grasses, seasonal perennials, and structural shrubs—paired with strategically placed boulders to enhance visual interest and spatial definition. A restrained material palette of gravel, stone, and wood reinforces cohesion with the broader landscape. Careful grading and planting ensure seamless integration, year-round usability, and a low-maintenance, immersive experience.
