Extending from beside a newly renovated coach house toward the rear of the lot, the pool becomes a defining linear element in the landscape. Along the property line, a black metal fence separates the yard from the neighboring property, softened by globe thistle at the water\u2019s edge and a row of columnar trees that screen the surrounding homes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2357\" height=\"1002\" src=\"https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Fire-Pit-Lounge-North-Toronto.jpg\" alt=\"Lap Pool and Fire Pit Lounge in North Toronto\" class=\"wp-image-11997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Fire-Pit-Lounge-North-Toronto.jpg 2357w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Fire-Pit-Lounge-North-Toronto-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Fire-Pit-Lounge-North-Toronto-1024x435.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Fire-Pit-Lounge-North-Toronto-768x326.jpg 768w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Fire-Pit-Lounge-North-Toronto-1536x653.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Fire-Pit-Lounge-North-Toronto-2048x871.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2357px) 100vw, 2357px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pool widens at the far end into an L-shaped extension, where broad entry steps occupy the additional space without interrupting the length of the swimming lane. At the opposite end, just a few steps down from the main house, is a concrete pad with a dedicated dining area. Behind the coach house, largely screened from the main house, a separate lounge runs alongside the pool, creating a more secluded outdoor setting.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2533\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Pool-Fire-Pit-North-Toronto-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Bento concrete fire in North Toronto\" class=\"wp-image-12003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Pool-Fire-Pit-North-Toronto-scaled.jpg 2533w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Pool-Fire-Pit-North-Toronto-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Pool-Fire-Pit-North-Toronto-1013x1024.jpg 1013w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Pool-Fire-Pit-North-Toronto-768x776.jpg 768w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Pool-Fire-Pit-North-Toronto-1520x1536.jpg 1520w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Pool-Fire-Pit-North-Toronto-2027x2048.jpg 2027w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2533px) 100vw, 2533px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here, a Bento concrete fire pit sits among a dark sectional and two lounge chairs in a matching charcoal finish. The clean geometry of the concrete bowl complements the restrained palette, while a cantilevered umbrella provides shade during the day. As evening settles in, the fire brings warmth and a natural point of focus to the poolside lounge, a comfortable retreat set apart from the activity around the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photos by: McNeill Photography<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11993,"template":"","categories":[56],"class_list":["post-12009","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature-projects"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/12009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
