Three-season terrace addition

Replacing a deteriorating rear addition, this light-filled terrace creates a peaceful year-round retreat for a retired couple. Slatted wood screens modulate light and privacy, while large openings seamlessly link the interior to a thriving garden—perfect for both quiet reflection and social moments.
