Winfield Customer Vision

• An area to entertain, including the upper patio & firepit, & lower Man-Cave area.
• Incorporate the basin water feature in the main patio.
• A pleasant journey down to the Man-Cave
• Create a retreat area for family & friends.

The Challenges

• Feel natural vs too ornamental.
• Obstruct certain views to create a feeling of intimacy, within a 3 acre lot.
• Drainage issues needed to be solved by the lower building
• The design had to incorporate existing trees, brush line, and elevation changes

The Design

• Create some retaining walls to deal with the elevation changes.
• Turn the retaining & free-standing walls into feature walls for future artwork, graffiti, etc.
• Walls were purposely designed as raw concrete to create a feeling of “architectural brutality”
• Wider/larger concrete steps were used to create to inviting feel to lower building
• Plant material was designed to be sympathetic to the existing native surroundings.
