With an upper entrance level accommodating the garages, domestic quarters and a guest cottage/office, visitors descend into a lush tropical courtyard space before being greeted with the main living space that opens to the views and a generous lawn area. The pool hugs the side of the garden area to allow for uninterrupted lawn space whilst the adjacent dense vegetation provides a natural wallpaper to the glazed circulation space that takes the occupants to their accommodation. Raw, natural materials are consistently utilized producing a clean, natural and contemporary architecture.
