The Conversation Pit Makes a Big Comeback in These Fabulous Sunken Living Spaces

Architect Matthew Hufft of Hufft Projects applied a ring of ipe around the perimeter of this fire pit on the patio of the Curved House in Missouri.
The outdoor area, which was designed in collaboration with Weston, Missouri-based landscape architecture firm 40North, features removable powder-coated aluminum benches upholstered in Sunbrella fabric.
