At night the geometry reveals itself. LED strips trace every steel edge and deck transition in amber light, drawing the terraced structure against the darkness. Hanging lanterns in the live oak canopy wash the branches from below. The entire composition reads differently after sundown — the steel disappears and the light takes over.
Two cantilevered steel planters hold crushed turquoise glass over integrated underlighting. By day the glass catches the sun in fractured teal. At night it glows electric green-blue against the amber deck strips. The contrast between warm fire light and cool glass is the signature of this build.
Two fire features work the upper terrace. The stone fire pit sits low in the gravel court, ringed by timber-slat benches and boulders — intimate, contained. The second stone-and-steel fire pit breaks the transition between deck and garden, a hybrid form that bridges the two material languages.
