This outdoor space is owned by Jennifer Gray and Clark Gregg who are both actors. They wanted a casual place with a fire pit in the garden of their Los Angeles home where they could sit and eat comfortably together. But since they didn’t have a lot of space, the designer Rob Steiner chose a combination of a fireplace and a dining table. This expansion of the interior can be reached quickly and easily through the large glass doors, which can be opened 3.60 meters wide. The floor consists of Del Rio pebbles, the olive tree and the lavender that surrounds the seating area provide more nature. The comfortable armchairs and the couch make the morning coffee or the evening dessert even more relaxing. The core of the fireplace consists of a stuccoed concrete block and reinforced steel forms the table part.

Cliff and Marcie Goldstein wanted an outdoor area that exuded the atmosphere of a holiday resort and where they could have fun with their friends.

It is a design by landscape architect Mark Beall. In order to stay true to the style of the interior design, he chose beams as the ceiling and built in French doors to facilitate access to the exterior from the interior. The plaster and the colors are also adapted to those of the interior design. The tiles that adorn the fireplace as well as the furniture are the choice of interior designer Kristin Pon and should reflect the earth tones of the kitchen.
