Hot Stuff

Theres nothing like a fire to encourage socialising and firepits are the answer. You can either build one in a secluded area or place a portable fire basket in the most suitable spot

- URBAN OASIS

As this raised corner of a small townhouse property was seldom used, landscaper Craig de Necker of The Friendly Plant decided to turn it into a ‘destination’ by building a firepit with seating around it. Shaded by palm trees and protected by the boundary wall, it’s now a favourite area for socialising and relaxing and is linked visually to other structures by the sandstone cladding.

- FIRE WATER

Forming part of the pool surround, this gas-powered firepit at Hout Bay’s Maison Noir adds to the year-round appeal of the covered living area adjoining the heated pool. The curved shape of the stone-clad surround is echoed in the balau deck. Property administered by Perfect Hideaways.
