    Country House Terraces

    Generous natural stone terraces connect a substantial home to its garden, shaped around mature planting and changes in level.

    These aerial views show how generous stone terraces can connect a substantial home with its surrounding garden. The paving follows the architecture and changes in level, creating practical places to dine and relax while preserving the mature planting and established character of the grounds.

    Elevated views reveal geometry that is hard to appreciate from ground level: a curved terrace, a glass balustrade, and steps that tie the whole space together.

    The stone terrace curves with the garden rather than cutting across it, with steps and a glass balustrade responding to the natural change in level.

    Seen from the side, the terrace reveals its full geometry: the sweep of the stone, the dining area it holds, and the planting that keeps the space feeling private.
