More Rockitecture




We've been asked how else we've used rocks functionally and artistically in an exterior setting.  Take a look at this small outdoor barbecue area.  Outdoor BBQ's are certainly not unusual but they don't need to be boring refined outdoor kitchens either.  They can be simple, fun and add character to your backyard.  We designed this BBQ on top of an existing stone wall.  The iron door provides access to storage, an electrical outlet and the gas shut-off valve. We have rock seats cantilevered balancing either side, two rock hot plate levels and a metal shepherd's hook rising between the boulders for a hanging lantern.  The boulder leg is arched back providing a toe kick space.


The back side is lower than the terrace and is designed to be playful with boulders facing towards the existing kid's sandbox.
