Carving out space for a vegetable
garden was also key. “Cooking and
entertaining are very important to the
owners, and the wife is an avid—and
amazing—cook, so raised vegetable
planters were crucial to the design,”
says Francis. The team found spaces
around the terrace and close to the
kitchen to allow for easy maintenance
and harvesting of the garden.
Raised vegetable planters are nourished with
stormwater caught by a cistern via a gravity-fed
spigot and garden hose.
