If garden rooms are about unarchitecture, then the garden house is about the unclosure of space.
It is not to say that the concept of enclosure ceases to exist in the design of space but rather that the design of space is itself redefined. In this redefinition, what has been identified by convention as the site, site boundaries and building setbacks cease to be seen as limits which bound an area but are seen more as an open volume in a landscape; urban, suburban or rural. What this means is that the surrounding trees in or around the site, the open field or distant hills, the rising sun and evening wind become the cues, the primary bylaws to begin design by, within which building bylaws and the land office are both uncritical though necessary parts of.
The garden house begins when lines are drawn to relate in and out rather than separate in from out. Walls only happen to accentuate the moments when they are absent. Doors and windows only occur where they can be kept open. Where the outside, the garden and borrowed landscape flow in and through the house the way a cross ventilating wind would. And surfaces are seen as the means to trace the passing of time.
Gardens transcend time since it is only through its passing that time leaves its trace on the garden. The garden house evidences its immersion in time from its garden room. The walls which unclose the garden house are the same which unclose the garden room.
The garden house exists because of its garden room.
