At the center of the home sits a planted courtyard that guides light into surrounding rooms. Timber, soft concrete finishes, and warm neutral tones create a welcoming and grounded environment.
A home grounded in nature and crafted for togetherness.
The family required a flexible layout that adapts to changing routines. Sliding partitions and multifunctional rooms were integrated to support work, study, and relaxation without sacrificing openness.
Design details prioritize comfort—natural ventilation, shading strategies, and layered textures help regulate temperature and soften the home’s contemporary lines. Each decision contributes to a calm living experience.
“The courtyard changed the way we live. We feel more connected—to each other and to nature.”
Anderson Family
Interior spaces use layered materials—timber, matte surfaces, and soft fabrics—to enhance warmth and tactility. The courtyard greenery acts as a living focal point visible from key rooms.
Neutral palettes allow natural light and foliage to define the mood of each space. This balance of simplicity and softness gives the home its inviting atmosphere.
