A pale limestone terrace beside a white pavilion, with planting in the foreground and a dining room visible through open glass.

Outdoor rooms · an imagined atelier

A terrace with the manners of a room.

Cairn composes pergolas, stone, and planting for houses that treat the outdoors as another chamber. The composer further down is a working model. Change the ground, the cloth, the span, or the hour, and the terrace changes with you.

This is a portfolio concept for Corvionix. Cairn is not a client, and the figures are not a quote.

Three studies, one model.

Each study loads a full configuration: surface, frame, roof, furniture, planting, and light. They are starting points, not packages you have to keep.

A living room of oak, stone, and a pale sectional opening through glass to a timber deck.

How to read the numbers.

The base figure is a composed terrace of modest size. A larger span, a stone ground, a roof that moves, or a hearth adds the amount shown beside that line. Cloth that matches the default linen is included. Olive and terracotta are a small premium because they are dyed.

Nothing here is a takeoff from a real yard. A builder would measure slope, drainage, footings, and the path materials have to travel. The model exists so a choice has a visible consequence and a number you can follow, not so it can be mistaken for a bid.

Orbit the model, or use the named views if you would rather not drag. If graphics are unavailable, the plan drawing carries the same choices.
