The problem
A flat back lawn faced the house and nothing else. The family ate inside from September to June because there was nowhere to sit outside after 6 p.m.
Decisions on the plan
- Moved the sitting area to the far corner so it looks back at the lit house
- Gravel terrace on a drained base instead of more lawn
- Fire pit sized for six, seat height at 18 inches
- Two lighting zones: path on at dusk, fire terrace on a scene button
What they use now
The terrace is the room they use most in October. The lawn that is left is the part the kids play on.
“We sit out there in October with blankets. I did not think that was possible in Medina.”
