With its core principles of Nature & Nurture, the design maximizes its connection with the heavily treed surrounding environment.
Centered around a central courtyard & two minor courtyards, the house weaves its way around mature trees maximizing on natural lights & ventilation, and visibility / access to nature.
The courtyards play a key role in creating various levels of intimate spaces allowing for various levels of privacy for simultaneous gatherings from semi-public to private spaces. A poolhouse, gym & guest house is situated at the top of the plot for maximum privacy.
