ABOVE: At
the rear of the house, Nievera cut out areas in the
terracotta
walkway to plant palms and to diminish its “runway”
feel. To the left, tin buckets act as a rainspout.
BELOW: A classic fountain is the focal point of the
east courtyard. “The trickling fountain gives
a cooling effect,” Nievera says. A white “cuddle
chair” nestles in the trees.
