The Brief
The brief called for a single-family home on a narrow plot surrounded by tea gardens, with privacy from neighbours and a strong connection to the landscape.
Design Approach
Every main room opens onto a planted central courtyard. A shaded arcade wraps the courtyard, offering cross-ventilation and a sheltered route between living, dining, and bedroom wings.
Materials & Light
Lime plaster, handmade clay tiles, and timber shutters respond to the humid climate. A mature tree at the heart of the courtyard anchors the composition and provides natural shade.
