/4/owg this side of the 
house runs a paved 
terrace with a low 
wall for balustrade. 
One conies to it from 
the lawn by way of 
the stone steps or 
through one of the 
doors of the house or 
by the path that is 
carried under the half- 
timber extension 
shown below 
The success of such a house depends greatly upon the 
restraint of its detail. Here we have the flatness of tin 
stucco wall relieved by the dark tone of the heavy struc¬ 
tural timbers, by the leaded casement windows and by 
the pitch of the roof. The color variation enriches this 
ensemble of details 
Leaded, metal casement windows and doors maintain the 
English atmosphere on this facade. The terrace is paved 
with flags laid irregularly and allowing space between 
for grass, which softens the effect. One is especially 
struck with the silhouette possibilities of these casement 
windows
