Custom welded steel fire pit on a poured concrete curb, COB strip lights illuminating the curb face below. Black glass and black ceramic balls fill the burner bed — they shape how the flames move, pulling them into a deliberate lick pattern rather than a uniform burn. The steel floats. The fire performs.
The concrete slabs pick up the fire and the low-voltage lighting from the beds. The steel frames each slab in a hard dark line. At night this yard has a completely different read than it does by day — and both are intentional.
Angle steel welded to the existing wall, 2×4-foot black cantera mortared to the ledge, COB lighting running underneath. The remaining wall became the best feature in the yard — a material shift that makes the original CMU structure unrecognizable.
