Seamless Interior/Exterior Connection

Layering a variety of materials helps defines separate spaces. An wooden bench cantilevers off the formed-in-place concrete retaining wall. The intermediate level is a patio of full-range Connecticut bluestone. The lower, waterfront level has a wooden deck. When barefoot, the variety of materials underfoot adds to one's sensual experience. The careful combination of wood, concrete Bluestone paving, loose gravel, boulders and plants with interesting textures and tones creates a rich visual palette.
