An Area for Entertainment

Here a broad walkway extends nearly the length of the house and leads to a covered upper patio. A railing of cedar and copper tubing ties these two areas together. The upper patio is paved with bluestone and this paving extends down the stairs to a lower patio which is also paved in this manner. The paving continues down the steps to the pool area. The fencing around the pool is topped by an arbor of cedar and copper tubing. The walls of the lower patio are sandstone and this material is repeated in the upper stairwell. The different structural elements serve to distiguish the different areas while the repetition of those same elements in other areas unifies the whole.
