Friends, Food & a Fire Feature

Tucked away in the rolling landscape of Dundas, Ontario, this backyard was designed to be more than a beautiful outdoor space; it’s a complete experience. Surrounded by lush greenery and backed by serene hiking trails, the setting feels private and peaceful, yet it’s built to host and impress.

Whether it’s a laid-back evening with family or a lively night with friends, this space was made for connection.

At the heart of the design is a fully sheltered entertainment area that seamlessly blends comfort, function, and style.

The linear fireplace anchors the space, framed in rich, textured concrete that complements the natural surroundings. Above it, a custom floating mantel adds a strong architectural gesture; sleek yet substantial, it grounds the television above and ties the composition together. This setup is designed for all-weather enjoyment.

Firelight flickers while the game plays on the big screen, and guests move easily between cozy seating and the bar-style countertop that stretches the length of the wall. Every detail invites conversation and relaxation; it’s a space that feels as good as it looks.

Every material, finish, and proportion was purposely chosen to create a backyard that works as beautifully as it looks.

The cool concrete tones gently contrast with the warm wood ceiling above, while brushed stainless steel drawers and matte cabinetry maintain a crisp and cohesive aesthetic.

Together, they form a palette that’s sophisticated yet welcoming.

Whether it’s the crackle of the fire on a fall evening, a weekend barbecue in midsummer, or a spontaneous night of cocktails and laughter, this Dundas retreat is always ready for good times. It’s a space built to host and built to last.
