Circular Fire Pit on Concrete Pavers

Surrounded by concrete pavers and desert plantings, a circular steel fire pit features low woven chairs arranged beneath a flat roof, post-and-beam mid-century modern house accented with a decorative breeze block wall.

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

  • Conversation-distance seating all the way around
  • Setback from structures, fences and branches
  • A dry, lit path back to the house
