Beautiful!
What an epic approach coming up to the house..!
Hugo's rendering really showcases the siting of this design.
An understated patio––so perfectly satisfying.
And for the lovers of a great Wright 'garden wall', both here are just fantastic.

The wall seems designed to create a private area that anticipates a future neighbor ? Many a Wright house, built in relative wilderness, later was surrounded by newer buildings . . .!

Yeah I kinda thought that when watching as well.... you ain't finding land that undeveloped anymore.
But isn't that a great aspect of Hugo's models, that they illustrate the highest ideal of the design?
I suppose the extended patio garden wall would help for future neighbors. Yet it also seems so essential for defining the patio and grassy area. It both contains and releases its spatial focus... The genius of Wright.
