Framing the Courtyard
The look of the central courtyard is shaping up. Here is an image looking straight out through the mosquito screens toward the east wall. If you imagine some vines on the wall and a few trees and philodendrons for good measure, you can start to picture the framed views that inspired us on a recent visit to the Kampong Garden in Florida.
Each day, design ideas come and go. Since yesterday, you will notice we have replaced the terracotta tile in the courtyard with a local limestone called Concheula (or shell stone). The terracotta was a little “grandma” and so we chucked it (see below for an updated view). If only real construction was this easy.
