Although not initially apparent, Costello used the simple geometries of historical farmhouses in the area to create Smith's home. The concept of having contrary forces working interdependently in the natural world was brought in by Smith, who, according to Costello, "embodies the yin and yang principle of balancing opposite energies."

perfect idea for greenhouse and pasture

We like the partitioning some wild some mowable. But for us the balance would have to be in favor of dog-friendly space. We're interested in channeling certain behaviors like pottying to different parts of the yard, but we still want the yard to be for the dogs. The balance in this picture feels 50/50--where our balance would have to be tipped more in favor of usable dog space. Not that it needs to be mowable in order to be usable.
