PROJECTS
Stillwater House
The imagined client brief for Stillwater House asked for a home that could welcome family and friends, connect daily life with the garden, and offer quieter rooms for rest. We responded with a garden-facing living pavilion, a dining and kitchen wing, shaded poolside terraces, and a private upper floor.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
Shared Life, Private Retreat
The household envisioned in this concept wants shared spaces to feel sociable while personal routines remain private. We develop that balance through two connected volumes: a lower living pavilion opening to the covered terrace and pool, and a two-storey wing bringing dining and kitchen together below the private rooms.
An entrance on the opposite side creates a clear arrival sequence without taking visitors through the bedroom zone. Concrete frames establish the architectural rhythm; walnut screens, pale stone and soft interior finishes give it a warmer domestic scale. The proposal makes gathering, movement and retreat visible before detailed design begins.
PROJECT GALLERY
From Garden Gatherings to Quiet Rooms
The gallery moves from the garden-facing architecture into dining, living, kitchen, and private rooms. Concrete frames and walnut screens establish the exterior rhythm, while pale stone and ivory textiles soften the interiors. The suite plan, building plans, section, and material board explain the layout and palette behind the intended atmosphere.
A Home for Gathering. Space for Yourself.
We help you design a home that brings people together while giving you room to retreat.
DESIGN APPROACH
Clear Routes for Everyday Living
The imagined family wants to host comfortably while keeping private routines apart. We connect the living pavilion with the dining and kitchen wing along the garden edge, extending gatherings toward the covered terrace and pool. A separate arrival route helps visitors find the shared spaces without passing through the bedroom zone.
For a quieter part of the day, the upper floor brings sleeping, dressing and bathing together beside a private terrace. Concrete gives the house its structure and rhythm; walnut, stone and soft upholstery bring warmth to the rooms people use. These choices give the household a clear proposal to review before developing a real site and detailed design.
