An outdoor area with a brick and stone wood-fired oven under a tiled roof. The oven, with its dome shape and stack of firewood beneath, sits on a stone pathway set in the grass. A clothesline with white laundry adds a homely touch, while the surrounding brick wall and colorful flowers bring a sense of openness and warmth to the space.
