Programmatically, the client’s interest in providing a gathering space for friends and extended family, encouraged a courtyard scheme with guest rooms, living areas, kitchen and dining areas surrounding a flexible outdoor space that includes a pool, barbecue, covered outdoor dining and a bar. At the lower level, there is a three car garage, a wine room and both wet and dry saunas.
