The architects discreetly sunk a pool into the roof terrace of the old corral. In order to shade part of the terrace, the architects designed a freestanding sun shelter. So as not to damage the outer walls of the old building, a galvanized-steel frame is secured to the terrace floor.

A maple tree grows through an ipe deck in this garden that Mary Barensfeld designed for a family in Berkeley, California.
