With the solar heater on the roof for the swimming pool and the outdoor fire pit, this view in the yard shows off most of the outdoor living spaces. From the cozy fire you can survey the full back yard. A glass of wine, the bocce court just to the right and the warmth of the fire in the evening time. Michael Tebb and his team put their special touch on each part of the back yard that Peter Koenig laid out in design.

Indoor/outdoor living can be enjoyed year round in the coastal community of Corona del Mar, California. This spacious atrium is the perfect gathering place for family and friends. Planters are the backdrop for custom built in seating. Rattan furniture placed near the built-in firepit adds more space for relaxation. Bush hammered limestone makes up the patio flooring.

Multiple levels create different vignettes for family and guests to spread out into. It also creates lots of opportunities for decorating the space on this PVC deck with double picture frame border and surrounding hardscape patios and seat walls. Stairs cascade down to lower level. Deck has solid skirting facing patio. The lighted rails in concert with the liquid light of the water fall give a special night time ambiance to this space

The rear patio’s limestone columns have electric roll-down screens & allow outdoor living without pests, when preferred. We project the fire pit into the lap pool so from most angles, it appears to be floating, as does the house.

Wood-burning fire pit is clad with slate tile, and lined with fire brick. Its coping is concrete, like that at the pool edge. Custom copper hood above by Two Hills Studio. Flooring is large format concrete tiles. I designed this outdoor living project when at CG&S, and it was beautifully built by their team. Photo: Paul Finkel 2012

The Throughstone GroupThe Throughstone Group
This massive 7-figure project in Martis Camp (Truckee, California) began in April of 2106 when Jon invited a few members of the Throughstone Group to fly there and walk through the site to see what ideas they could collectively form for the client from a "blank slate". A theme was then proposed; a rough plan was approved; and phase one site preparation began that same Fall. It's a one-of-a-kind collaboration involving every member of the Throughstone Group from Colorado, California, Washington and Italy. Phase two began in May of 2017 and finished six months later in November. The final phase will be complete in the early summer of 2018. Jon's stonesmith travel team relocated to Truckee for six months and installed approximately 300 tons of basalt and granite stone. The SB Forge + Iron crew designed and built numerous bronze-plated and bronze-sculpted features. The Seattle Solstice team co-designed and built Jon's sculptures up in Seattle, transported them to the site and flew down to install them. Jay of Stellar Jay Designs built all of the wood works in Durango, Colorado and trucked them up himself to put them all in place. Craig and Mary from NW Outdoor Lighting will complete the lighting system in 2018.
