The Place of Siimmer-houses in General Scheme—Building in Vernacular Manners— Thatched Roofs—Cob—Use of Old Materials—In Walled Gardens—Shelters and Tool-hoiises. THE success of summer-houses and pavilions, considered as elements of garden design, depends as much upon their skilful placing as upon their form and materials. It may be laid down that, in cases where the pavilion is near the main house and related to it by path or pergola, it should have the same architectural treatment. By way of example we may refer to Fig. 296, which shows a design by Mr. H. Inigo Triggs. In this case the pavilion serves as a focus for the other elements of the design. It is connected with the house by a pergola, and its four windows overlook the lawn, the sunk garden, etc. It is proper, therefore, that it should be of the same half-timber construction as the house, to which it stands in a definite relation.
