Client brief

What the family asked for

Every space had to feel right, new and distinct — usability first, then durability and self-sufficiency, across a broad range of everyday and specialised functions.

Challenge

What needed solving

Very large scale, extensive and varied requirements and an extreme local climate, with multiple specialised spaces to keep coherent within one residence.

Design direction

How the plan resolved it

Resolve each room according to its function first, then give it an individual visual identity within a controlled overall material language.

Design decisions

Problem, decision, result.

Usability before decoration

Problem: The client wanted novelty but usability remained the primary concern.
Decision: Resolve layout, circulation and furniture use before decorative treatment.
Result: Spaces remain practical despite their scale.

Giving scale proportion

Problem: Large rooms risked feeling empty or poorly proportioned.
Decision: Use defined furniture groupings, feature walls, ceiling geometry and substantial architectural elements.
Result: Large spaces feel intentional without being overcrowded.

Built to last

Problem: The residence required long-term durability.
Decision: Use substantial joinery, restrained details and robust material treatments.
Result: The project maintains a premium appearance while remaining practical.

Varied but coherent

Problem: Office, bedrooms, living areas, theatre and gym required very different atmospheres.
Decision: Allow each functional zone its own character while repeating a controlled material palette.
Result: The residence has variety without feeling disconnected.
