place: West Seattle, Seattle, WA
program: recessed outdoor fire-pit.

The Fire-Pit is designed as a simple gathering space for small groups of friends. Part of a larger phased design plan for the client’s backyard, this intimate space uses materials and details that reference other backyard design elements. The fire-pit is inspired by the mid-century legacy of conversation pits, the fire-pit is carved into the earth as a sunken hearth, inviting groups of friends and family to  roast and toast marshmallows together.
