On the West side of Toronto, a suburban backyard is transformed into a warm outdoor living and entertaining space.

A walk-out hard-scaped patio features the main cooking and dining area with a generous outdoor kitchen, prep area and seating for ten. The space is divided from the lawn and garden by a row of corten steel planters filled with ornamental grasses – the plumed foliage mimicking the flames of the adjacent Komodo Corten fire pit. The lower level reveals a cozy, covered lounge area with retractable sun shade and a in the opposite corner, a peaceful reading nook.
