No. 95 Backyards · Mid-Century Modern
Concrete Patio with Circular Fire Pit
Outside this mid-century modern home with a flat roof, post-and-beam framing, and a breeze block wall, a concrete paver patio features a burning fire pit, landscape lighting, and string lights at night.
Design notes
Mid-century modern design lines everything up with the house. Look for flat roofs and post-and-beam overhangs, walls of glass, breeze-block screens, terrazzo or large concrete pads with gravel joints, and a rectangular pool set square to the architecture. Planting is sculptural and sparse — agave, yucca, olive, citrus, a Mediterranean fan palm — and colour comes from a single accent: an orange door, turquoise water, a yellow umbrella.
What to look for
- How the space is zoned — dining, lounging, lawn, planting
- Sightlines from the back door to the furthest feature
- Layers of privacy: canopy, screening, structure
