Arista Street Patio, San Diego

Tucked beside a white stucco home in San Diego, this garden patio is paved in ARTO's handcrafted Artillo Arabesque Pattern 8C concrete tile in a Winslet blend. The interlocking shapes form a soft, repeating pattern in muted grays and earthy tans, with narrow joints that let the outline of each piece show. A low curved bench wraps one side of the patio, and a built-in grill and dining table sit at the far end beneath strings of lights. Stepping stones lead in through drought-tolerant planting, so the tiled floor reads as a quiet room set into the garden, warm in the evening light.
