Multi-Level Stamped Concrete Patio with Integrated Retaining Walls

Sweeping, multi-level terraces of stamped concrete define this waterfront patio in Burien, WA, creating a harmonious transition between the home and the natural landscape. The design employs multiple patterns to delineate distinct living areas, using a large tile texture for open spaces and a contrasting cobblestone stamp for borders and accents. Curved retaining walls, finished with a vertical stone texture, provide both structural support for the terraced layout and integrated seating. These functional walls incorporate planters that soften the hardscape with greenery. The craftsmanship extends to wide, curved steps that ensure graceful movement between levels and a custom-built water feature that serves as a tranquil focal point, demonstrating a mastery of form and function in architectural concrete.
