Sunken Fire Lounges & Sculpted Terraces
Sub-grade outdoor conversational pits, integrated linear gas fire features, and built-in stone banquettes.
There is an ancient, magnetic comfort in stepping down into a protected sunken lounge to gather around an open flame under the stars. Rowui designs sculpted outdoor fire lounges recessed into stone terraces and landscape topography. We engineer concealed gravity drainage to prevent rainwater pooling, integrate electronic-ignition gas fire burners with volcanic basalt, and detail custom stone banquette seating with plush outdoor upholstery.
