This continual movement adds dynamic style to the scene and alleviates boredom of looking at the same space in a very un-dynamic style the entire day. Shadows bring a sense of theater to the garden, The shadow lines magically move there way across the space as the day plays itself out. The other big thought here is often neglected, not even thought of, and usually excites only as a afterthought. Where some space below the pergola is solid and safe for footing and other areas are made beds so that plants and people can thrive together and the garden is accessible to human contact. the connection is made, and can be made more powerful with the addition of vines, climbers and bloomers working their way through the pergola. The attachment to the house and the post rising from the Earth. Their ability to link elements, spaces, structures, and emotions together in a harmonious way. That’s why I think pergolas are so powerful a design tool. The cedar pergola was designed not with the intent of keeping out the shade but to act as the conduit of bring the house and landscape together. The mind changes over, the space is now looked at differently. The physical act of walking through and under such a structure accomplishes this. Instead of just designing the cliche’ wrap around the house footprint style arbor I worked hard to design a arbor that would also work as a separator, This separator is to divide the public space and the pool/private space.
Including a long drive with a big parking area to go through before reaching this back yard space. The homeowners are not fancy, quaint, do-dad type of people that need to look at lots of embellishment or intricate detail.įinally the space itself is big, big house, big pool, tall trees, and large lawn. I had looked at the style and size of house and determined right away we needed something with some bulk, girth, and substance. This pergola was designed with several thoughts in mind, several request asked, and the pergola needed to be substantial.
