Working within its meek dimensions — about 850 square metrical unit — and existing plan , Fehlbaum chose the same dark greenness used in the home ’s indoor hallway to beautify the sit down area paries , seamlessly connecting the national living space with the exterior as well as delineating a blank for reclining and restful ( as opposed to the socializing - focused dining country ) . The light-green and cherry hues used throughout , a combination that can often feel garish and holidayesque , here makes an disingenuous , elusive duet . A Le Corbusier dining table and crimson Maarten van Severen chaise lounge elegantly anchorman and update the traditional Mediterranean design , while the plants — an array of potted specimens including fig , tangerine tree , lemon , Olea europaea , and pomegranate trees in addition to hibiscus and vine — stick truthful to the surface area ’s aboriginal mood . But it ’s the one - of - a - form details that truly breathe life into the terrace . in an elaborate way patterned tile floors are original to the home ; wall - mounted taxidermy , found in Saintes Maries de la Mer , France , pays homage to Fehlbaum ’s erotic love of ornithology . The ensue mélange of fashion and objects is well-to-do and fun — just as outdoor living should be .
