Outdoor Living

A dome, framed by hand and finished in plaster.

This pavilion started as a ring of hand-cut timber rafters standing open to the sky. The curve had to be laid out and cut on site — there is no catalogue part for a dome this size. What closed it in is a plastered coffered ceiling, stone columns, a full outdoor kitchen, and polished travertine underfoot.

Before & After
