As part of the landscape design for a home in Valle de Bravo, Mexico, Weber Arquitectos created this outdoor sunken conversation pit and dining area.
Covered by a pergola, the conversation pit includes a U-shaped lounge that wraps around the interior edge and looks out towards the dining area.
On a sunny day, the pergola casts striped shadows on the space, while on cooler nights, a fire table keeps things warm. Steel planters have been built into the design of the conversation pit, helping to create a lush green accent.
