As an Aussie living in Ireland, Nick Seymour of Crowded House wanted to find a way to maximise his opportunity for outdoor living. He asked Colin Ritchie of Mud and Wood to create an area for him which would provide shelter from the wind and heat for those chilly days and nights. Colin created a secluded patio in front of one of the old stone outbuildings on the property, including stone raised beds, a stone bench, a stone fireplace and salvaged windows and doors.
