BEACON OF HOPE
A proposed major social space is the backyard central gathering area, or “Hearth”. This area includes a paved plaza with a firepit and seating.
Aggregate paving such as pea gravel or decomposed granite is ideal for an informal feel. The firepit and surrounding adirondack chairs should be
moveable for flexible use of the space. However, stone benches around the perimeter of the space are envisioned as permanent. A covered, open-air
“barn” provides shelter for outdoor activities. The barn’s decked floor is raised a foot off the ground, and broad wrap-around steps leading up to it
provide additional seating space. Garden storage can also be incorporated into a shed attached to one side of the barn.
