Cincinnati June 2021

Picture this. You’re enjoying hot coffee and
donuts in the cozy dimness of an eclectic little
café in Seattle. The rain is thrumming outside,
but the shop’s rolling garage door keeps it
pleasant inside. Suddenly the rain stops and
sunlight drenches the outdoors. The proprietors
throw open the garage door, illuminating
the interior and inviting the outdoors in.
This happened to Dr. David Key while he
was on a trip a few years ago, and it served as
his vision for his home addition and his new,
forward-thinking outdoor space. He explains:
“I thought, ‘I’m going to put an addition on my
house and I want to make it feel like I’m part
of the outdoors.’”
The fountain was created from an old grinding millstone.
