The final jewel in this collection is an elegantly simple, 560-square-
foot garage and studio structure designed by Robert M. Gurney,
FAIA, for the back yard of a home in Northwest Washington.
“The project is intended to mediate between a gritty alley
and a landscaped rear yard with a swimming pool, responding
to both contexts,” Gurney said. “The new structure combines
with the main residence to create a private outdoor courtyard.
It is designed to be in scale with the other structures that share
the alley, and with the courtyard and the surrounding terraces
and landscaping.”
