The design focuses around a spacious smooth cut natural stone patio with hardwood deck segments, which are under lit at night. The rectangular window shape from the house has been used throughout the design - it’s repeated in the free standing rendered wall windows and the decking strips. Through the large lawn are non-slip, toughened, opaque glass stepping stones, which light up at night leading the way to a ‘floating’ patio. The patio is sitting on a hidden concrete plinth, which gives the illusion that the patio floats. This effect is further enhanced at night by a concealed lighting strip under the overhanging lip of the patio.
