Here's the house in back. A custom mahogany window-wall system helps blend the main living space with the terraces, gardens, and swimming pool in the rear yard. To help keep energy costs down, the firm used high-performance glazing and large roof overhangs to help keep the home cool in summer. In winter, radiant concrete and tile floors work with the low angle of the sun to keep the home warm and comfortable.

Large windows and openings permit a direct connection between indoor and outdoor terrace living space with a mix of hardscape, planting beds, pools, and trees. As the previous example, the two wings in this house are each scaled appropriately for the outdoor space they serve, and material contrast is used to distinguish living space from sleeping space.

love the look of the house and the landscaping--little too much hard surface perhaps for storm water runoff but it could be softened with stepping stones interlaced with moss in the outer walkways to minimize the runoff
