Design highlights

  • Living room open along its length to a planted strip of garden

    Inside-Out Living. Living spaces are conceived as sheltered outdoor spaces, creating the feeling of living within a tropical garden.

  • Dining table beside a reflecting pool, under a timber-clad upper floor

    Small Site, Big Feeling. Simple spatial techniques make the home feel larger than its footprint, using changes in scale, volume and visual openness.

  • A tree growing from a black reflecting pool in the double-height courtyard

    The Arrival Sequence. A compressed entrance builds anticipation before opening into a reflective pond and soaring double-volume living space.
