Ground-floor plan and principal elevation of a Garden Pleasure House

ca. 1735-ca. 1745

- DR1984:0574, DR1984:0575, and DR1984:0576 describe a theoretical project for a garden house consisting of a central block and two pavilions. The plan of the central block has the form of a stretched octagon curved inward on the two longest sides. These two sides are approached by double stairs and constitute the front and back of the building. The short sides on the long axis open into the two pavilions (joined at right angles to the central block), which are square in plan and contain stairs leading to the upper floor. As in the building described in DR1984:0572 and DR1984:0573, the pavilions are two storeys high, while the area above the central hall is open to the sky. The interior and exterior of this structure are articulated much as in the first garden house (DR1984:0572 - DR1984:0573) except that the second storey exterior walls of the pavilions are enframed by Ionic pilasters. Also, only two fountains, one at front and back, are used at ground level.
