No. 91 Fire & Spa · Mountain & Cabin
Sunken Fire Pit with Built-In Benches
Outside a timber and stone mountain home, a sunken circular fire pit is framed by curved built-in benches, flagstone steps, yellow wildflowers, and tall pines at sunset.
Design notes
Mountain and cabin design lets the landscape lead. Look for heavy timber and log, stacked stone and boulders, steel and dark stains that recede against the trees, and decks and terraces that reach toward the view. Fire is central — a stone fireplace, a fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs — and hot tubs earn their place. Planting is pines, aspens, grasses and wildflowers; paving is flagstone and gravel that can take the snow.
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
