The landscape works horizontally to extend the natural ground; the space and the form of the internal house. The landscape works vertically to evoke natural growth; rising trees, and lifting the eyes to meet the skies above, that are pulled down for all to see. Fundamentally, the same elements are found outside as inside: water, fish, skies, trees, foliage… and the same materials are chosen to reflect as much light and movement from the winds and the skies as the location will permit. Materials, form and choice of planting bring seasonal knowledge and colourful highlights to the interiors.
