Design highlights

  • Looking through the vestibule's perforated screen towards the hall

    A Journey of Vestibules. Four transitional spaces are woven through the home, creating a sequence of arrival, pause and retreat.

  • Dining room under a pendant, opening onto a planted court with a tree

    Middle Eastern Influence. Inspired by Moroccan and traditional Arab entryways, the design uses layered thresholds to create a stronger sense of privacy and arrival.

  • Living room around a tree in a white planter, on a patterned tile floor

    Rammed Earth Entrance. Tall fluted rammed earth columns form a striking entrance while subtly concealing the main door, creating both presence and privacy.
