Coastal

This architectural villa redefines modern living with its sculptural, flowing rooflines and seamless fusion of luxury and nature. It seamlessly integrates with nature through lush tropical landscaping and biophilic elements like greenery on terraces. Many modern homes incorporate landscaping as an afterthought, but here, lush greenery is an integral part of the design, cascading from terraces and blending the house into its surroundings. This creates a biophilic connection that most contemporary homes lack. Also, this design embraces earthy-toned plaster, natural stone, and warm wood accents.

Village Hall

The building intentionally avoids the vernacular architectural style, and applies modern materials and structure.

The layout prioritizes natural light and views: south/east facades maximize solar exposure and park vistas, while a north-elevated ground floor ensures safe access and streetfront cohesion.

Theater House

The primary objective is to establish a seamless connection between each program of the house by creating a split-level space throughout, from the initial encounter to the heart of the house. This design strategy also conveys a sense of spaciousness and unobstructed open space between the poolside terrace, living dining room, and covered multi-function terrace. The upper floor contains the master and children's bedrooms, each with access to a roof garden.
