House in Garden Home
This long 1,500 square meter plot, offered a particular opportunity to embed a home within the flat & elevated landscaping. The aim was to retain the visual continuity of the gardens and maximize views of the elevated horizon. Although the majority of the house is upon two floors, the living room and study were arranged as an air-conditioned pergola from where both the front and back gardens may be viewed. The elongated reflective pool re-enforces the linearity of the plot and the play of levels between the street entrance and the house itself.
