Giving The House A Homey:
The visitors flowed from room to room, and the camaraderie of the designers filled the spaces between, giving the house a homey family feel.
"The house is really cohesive," said Carmen Quartararo of BPL Design Group, which designed the courtyard living and dining area. "This year, it really goes together."There are also notable examples of with an atrium (an interior court surrounded 1$ rooms). Some of these are of relatively ancie construction, such as the House with the Wood Partition, the Samnite House, and the House -5^51 Neptune and Amphitrite. Of unusual design £jt(,er the great villas in the southern part of the ci including the House of Argo, the House of t Hostelry, the House of the Mosaic Atrium, a the House of the Deer. In these houses the t ditional plan is modified. The peristilia (cole naded courtyards), the gardens, reception haj and other rooms were oriented toward the sot in order to take advantage of the view towa the sea.
We, too, have started such a bower at the side of our garden. The largest tree harbors three hanging houseplants during the summer months, giving them the filtered sunlight that they prefer. Underneath is a cool and pleasant place to sit on a hot day. By selectively cutting the suckers that arise throughout June, July, and August, I am able to plan the direction that my living house of shade will pursue.
