The patio

Plants, lanterns and tiles

A stone path across the gravel, hanging plants and lanterns, a bar of warm-lit niches and, at the back, the tiled wall with the cat glowing in neon.

    Plants

    Palms, pots hanging from the walls and vines: before anything else, the patio is a garden.

  2. A lit iron-and-glass lantern beside the hanging pots, washed in red light

The cat is the spirit of the house: curious, nocturnal and always smiling. Its garden wakes up when the sun goes down.
