This expansive single-storey home was shaped by the challenge of a northern orientation to the street — a condition that typically compromises privacy while limiting opportunities to draw in natural light. The design response was to introduce a central courtyard, allowing natural light to flood the interiors while creating a private, inward-looking focus for the home.

The plan is anchored by two distinct wings: the master suite and a children’s wing comprising two bedrooms, a guest room and an activity space. Dual living zones extend to the courtyard, encouraging connection while maintaining flexibility for family life. An oversized secondary garage further enhances functionality, with every element thoughtfully resolved to reflect the client’s needs.

Balancing privacy with openness, and functionality with refined design, the home is a tailored response that captures light and liveability in equal measure.
