The brief

Four basalt-clad volumes — parents, children, guests, majlis — are set as separate masses and reconnected by a single shaded colonnade over a still water channel. Privacy is spatial, not fenced: you are always somewhere specific, never in a corridor.

Deliberate moves
  • 01Programme split into four legible stone masses
  • 02A water axis that both cools and orients
  • 03A majlis that reads as civic within a private home
