Project Overview
Graceful, sweeping curves define this multi-level exposed aggregate concrete patio in Tacoma, creating an organic connection between the home and the surrounding landscape.

This installation is a study in durable artistry, where the strength of concrete is shaped into a functional and flowing outdoor living area designed for longevity and aesthetic appeal.
