Corten Fire Table on Timber Deck

Beside a dark timber pavilion with cedar screens, a low fire table rests on a small wood deck surrounded by raked gravel, moss, stepping stones, and maples.

Design notes

Japanese and zen design work by subtraction. Look for a few well-placed stones, raked gravel or moss instead of lawn, a Japanese maple or black pine pruned to show its structure, a stone basin or still pond, and timber and bamboo screens that hide the rest of the yard. Paths are stepping stones set to slow you down; colours are green, grey and charcoal with one seasonal flash of red.

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
