A house built around water. Stone, timber and deep shade set against a pool that runs the length of the living wing.
The plan holds a large family without crowding the site. Living spaces open fully to the terrace, while the sleeping wing sits back behind a screen of planting and stone.
Water as the organising line.
The pool sets the datum for the whole house. Every principal room addresses it, and the level changes across the site are absorbed into the terrace edge rather than announced as steps.
Stone at the threshold, timber once you are inside.
Rough stone marks the arrival and the corners that meet the ground. Past that point the palette turns to timber and glass, so the material shift does the work of telling you where you are.
A narrow, timber-lined passage compresses the route between wings before releasing into the double-volume living space — the tightest point in the plan sits immediately before the widest.
Photoreal visualisation let the client walk the water's edge before the platform was cut.
