Design question
Create privacy and retreat without disconnecting the house from daylight, landscape, and outdoor living.
Key decisions
Plan, massing, shade, and facade decisions support private indoor-outdoor living.
Shade as architecture
Deep overhangs, screens, and recessed openings control glare while giving the elevations depth.
Indoor-outdoor continuity
Living spaces align with protected terraces and framed garden views rather than exposed glass walls.
Volume Plan scope
Architectural concept shaped from arrival to retreat.
Volume Plan developed the plan strategy, massing, shaded openings, facade direction, and relationship between living spaces, terraces, courtyards, and landscape.
