The casa as the new foundation for the addition has been started. View from the front of the house. Early in the morning, the calm before all the workers arrive. Then there will be the sound of cement mixers, the radio, trucks arriving with mounds of sand and cement, and conversation among the workers.

The cloisters date from the 15th century and were one of the last medieval additions to the cathedral. The walkways with their delicate vaulted ceilings surround the cloister garth on three sides instead of the usual four as there is no north walk (the space simply being closed by the south aisle of the nave).
Wells Cathedral is a magical place to me, having cast a spell over me from the very first time I laid eyes on it as a seven-year old when it started to be a regular break on our journeys south west for childhood holidays. Although it wasn't the first cathedral I'd encountered it was the first I'd seen after developing a more conscious interest in church art and architecture and it seemed to me like something from another world (which in many ways it is). I never forgot the impression it made, its beauties inside and out, and having not visited for nearly three decades I decided getting reacquainted was long overdue.
Described as England's 'Queen amongst cathedrals' it is not as huge as some but it is as beautiful as any, and its setting within the enclosure of a charming cathedral close that constitutes a large part of this modestly-sized but picturesque cathedral-city just adds to its qualities. Its three towers beckon the visitor through the turreted gates that connect the close to the market place and to walk through these and behold the west facade for the first time is an unforgettable experience. The central tower is a beautiful example of Somerset's pinnacled late Gothic masterpieces, and yet it almost disappears, practically forgotten, when one encounters the rich display between the two western towers with their curiously flat parapets. These towers are also mainly 15th century work, but below them, and built two centuries earlier, the facade unfolds like a huge screen covered with niches, most of which remarkably retain their original statues, the largest display of medieval sculpture surviving in England.
Currently visitors are directed to enter via the cloisters on the south side rather than through the surprisingly small, almost apologetic doorways burrowed through the base of this astonishing facade, so it is important to spend some time absorbing it before entering the building. Once inside the effect is rather calmer than the riot of ornamentation on the west front, and the scale a little more intimate and inviting than many cathedral interiors. Most of it is early 13th century and harmonious in style, but it is a later addition that draws the eye looking down the nave, the unique 'scissor arches' installed to brace the crossing in order to stabilise the central tower following signs of movement. The transepts beyond are of the same date and design as the nave, whilst further east the more ornate choir is a little later, being completed in the early 14th century. Beyond this the retrochoir and polygonal Lady Chapel with their delicate pillars and vaults form one of the most delightful and visually satisfying of English medieval interiors.
Furnishings and features of interest are plentiful as one explores the church admiring the beauty of its architecture, with much medieval glass surviving at the east end, the east window and the adjoining clerestories having survived almost intact (more survives in the choir aisles and lady chapel though aside from the traceries most is in a fragmentary state). Many medieval bishops effigies are to be seen (many forming a posthumous 13th century commemoration of earlier Saxon bishops) along with three chantry chapels. In the north transept is the famous medieval astronomical clock with its painted dials and jousting knights marking the quarter hours.
One of the most exquisite features is the chapter house also on the north side, approached via a delightfully timeworn staircase and covered by a particularly attractive vaulted ceiling. It is one of the highlights of the building and shouldn't be missed. The cloisters on the south side are also a delight to wander through and were one of the last major additions to the cathedral.
Wells Cathedral is without a doubt one of the country's greatest treasures and in my mind one of the most beautiful churches anywhere and even its surroundings are a joy to explore. It is sad to think of it closed at present owing to the current lockdown, it deserves to be visited and enjoyed again by all once the present crisis is over.

Landscape gardens and view to Swan House folly (ca. 1777)
The royal gardens of Drottningholm in Stockholm are a magnificent example of several epochs of landscape design side-by-side, displaying both internationally influent styles and local traditions. The layout is centered on the baroque castle (by Nicodemus Tessin Sr. in 1661) and central parterre gardens, by Nicodemus Tessin Jr. and Johan Hårleman, largely preserved today after a restoration in the 1950s.
On either sides of the terraces, lime avenues, bosquets and green theatres and garden rooms that constitute the baroque backbone of the garden, different styles and epochs taking advantage of the topography of the peninsula have been added; such as the notable Chinese Pavilions and gardens (1763-69 by Carl Frederik Adelcrantz), a separate formal layout containing one of the finest examples of the anglo-chinois fashion with a small “chinese” palace, several side pavilions, aviaries, orangeries and chestnut avenues. Later additions include a “Turkish tent” pavilion for the royal guards (1781), an entire romantic landscape park section in the English tradition featuring lakes, islands, bridges, mazes and vistas focused on several follies and sculpture pieces (laid out from 1777 by Carl Frederik Adelcrantz and Fredrik Magnus Piper), and a separate small archipelago garden south of the palace with ten islands linked by bridges and a classicist boathouse.

The addition and renovation of this French Provincial-inspired home integrates seamlessly with the existing residence featuring a limestone exterior, slate mansard roofs, and copper accents. Expansive arched openings and interior art glass open up the once-segmented floor plan providing free-flowing interior spaces and an open floor plan. Taking advantage of a nearby existing ash tree, the Second Floor rear roof terrace is nestled below this expansive tree canopy creating the sense of an outdoor room.
