The only factor still left to deal with was their outside house. The private yard, whole of redwoods and other mature trees, marked the perfect room to remodel into their dream out of doors oasis. Surrounded by the lush landscape, the Atherton Pavilions, designed by Feldman Architecture, include added sq. footage – 450-square-toes every, to be precise – for an outdoor kitchen and eating space, as effectively as a area for meditation and exercising.
The pavilions are strategically positioned all around the initial trees serving to to blend the new constructions with mother nature. The kitchen area pavilion and patio area are situated by the swimming pool making for the great backyard BBQ set up.
Each pavilions are clad on the ends with Alaskan yellow cedar slats, for privacy on the training/meditation one particular and for adding a feeling of openness on the kitchen composition. More than time, the wood with naturally weather conditions generating it even further mix into its environment.
A pathway passes a new drinking water element on the way to the second pavilion, which properties the meditation, yoga, and training studio.
Both pavilions are lifted off of concrete foundations producing the structures look as if they are floating more than the landscape.
