02 — The work
How we approached it.
Stone
Carved by hand, shot by hand.
Close studies of the sandstone and stained glass that make the house what it is.
Kitchen
Light from above.
The skylit kitchen and breakfast room, balanced so the garden reads through the doors.
Garden
The view buyers don't expect.
The lap pool and terraces, from the lawn and from the air.
