Hardscaping plays an integral part in creating an inviting entrance and pool-side entertaining space in the Bay Area Residence. A classic material was chosen to complement the wall cladding and distinguish the home from others on the street. Clay pavers ranging from creamy off-white to light grays and tans were blended on site capturing the subtle ranges of the brick cladding and stucco. The pavers’ vivid colors catch the eyes of passersby and help establish the home’s presence among neighboring houses. The muster k pattern of 6×6 and 6×9 tumbled pavers adds to the home’s Mediterranean flair. The 2-1/4-inch thick pavers selected allowed a single paving material to be used in the vehicular drive and entrance, as a pool surround in the home’s lanai and on a second-story balcony. The tumbled straight-edge paver also allowed its use as a step tread and riser.
