This contemporary patio features slate-blue stucco walls with cobalt sconces washing light over a built-in L-shaped hardwood bench. Cream cushions and cobalt pillows frame a sculptural black lava-stone fire pit on a smooth blue-gray concrete floor. A taut canvas shade sail softens evening light, while stainless steel planters with grasses and a Japanese maple sit behind a pale stone coping, creating a crisp, minimal, resort-like atmosphere.
