Parallel relationship

He was a builder by nature. He had a passion for architecture and landscape design, and Mount Vernon was his creation. How extremely important all this was to him and the pleasure he drew from it, few people ever understood.


I'd like to know whether "the pleasure" has a parallel relationship with "to him" or it has one with "all this."
Thank you in advance for your help.
