Layering Views
With the heat of April fully upon us and the thought that the rain (and associated onslaught of mosquitos) will soon return, we are finding ourselves indoors and sheltering from merciless clime.
The longer we spend inside, the more we miss spending time in the garden. It reminds us of the design goal we set this time last year - to design indoor spaces that remain connected to the outdoors during summer.
One major way we will be achieving this is through the use of large picture windows that provide vistas into the garden. One of these vistas is from the kitchen into the rear garden, now under construction.
Viewed from inside the kitchen, the many layers that will compose our garden are starting to come through. From the small stone retaining wall in the foreground to the elevated patio beyond, the eye moves upward and outward until it hits the canopy of trees beyond our property walls.
Compare this to a 3D render we did a while back and we’re starting to really appreciate the complexity of textures that will hopefully keep us connected to the world beyond the kichen door.
