Another threshold to cross can be water. The last few photos feature projects with bridges and other walkways moving people across shallow pools. The carefully composed entry sequence here starts with a view of the vista above the house, moves down some steps alongside a bermed landscape, and then moves people across a small pool. The water and plantings are then framed by the large window in the dining room to the right of the entrance.

One of my favorite houses! Moving down and over this set of features, takes the visitor to a different kind of place. Slows you down, makes you look, and be aware.
