A neutral palette of materials complements the serene atmosphere, while a connecting bridge links the two main wings of the house. This thoughtful layout maintains a delicate balance between the master bedroom and the children’s rooms, ensuring both connection and privacy. At the heart of the home lies a double-height kitchen and dining space, which acts as a central hub linking the sleeping wings and embracing a central courtyard.

The design incorporates a second layer of operability and privacy through a system of fibre cement perforated bi-folding screens. These screens, constantly shifting in response to sunlight, seasons, or coastal conditions, allow for dynamic adjustments to light and privacy throughout the day.

The home wraps around a central courtyard and swimming pool, seamlessly integrating with outdoor spaces. This connection to water, nature and play is central to the project, making the outdoors an integral part of everyday life.
