THE BRIEF

A small rear yard, a long view, and a wish for the garden to feel older than the house.

The clients wanted a place to gather, but not a patio with a garden applied around it. We treated the room as an excavation: stone, shade, water, and planting brought into a calmer order.

THE RESULT

Now the house opens toward a sequence of rooms where every surface carries a trace of weather.
