| | A part of a major renovation to the existing house was integrating the new living spaces with the landscape. A series of outdoor spaces are organized along the central axis through the main living spaces in the house. A trellis covered deck off of the dining area leads to an intermediate raised, circular lawn area. This elevated lawn area provides a transition down to the main level of the rear yard, thus avoiding a large flight of stairs with handrails off of the deck while providing additional space for gathering. A lower stone patio area with grass joints serves as an additional dining area for entertaining.
