| Before- SW corner of the property sloped and wet most of the year |
 |
| Before - The corner adjacent to the pond and creek holds a lot of potential |
 |
| Proposed Patio |
The sloped south-west corner of the property adjoining the pond and stream had a lot of potential in terms of the view.
Challenge: The slope towards the rear of the site made the area not usable.
Design solution: Retaining wall is built to raise and even out the ground level with the rest of the backyard. The circular patio floor is raised with seating area all around. The floor pattern is made up of cobel stones layed out in a concentric pattern to echo the shape of the wall. The wall plastering is in stucco style. The raised patio now overlooks the pond and the creek. This scerene spot is ideal for meditation as well as for warming up around a fire place. The fire place is kept mobile to keep the place multifunctional. The area where the deck and patio meet is designed to house a grill and serve as a walkway to the storage space under the deck. A Buddha statue is scheduled to be placed in Spring of next year in the south-west corner of the patio.
