Garden-Facing Residence

A larger home organised around views of the garden and the changing daylight.

The idea

A design direction for an independent house where the living, dining and bedroom spaces all turn towards the garden.

A stone feature wall anchors the living room, while the rest of the palette stays soft and pale so the greenery outside becomes part of the interior.

Design Approach

How the space comes together

  1. 01

    Framing the view

    Furniture is arranged to face the garden rather than a television.

  2. 02

    Stone as an anchor

    A single stone wall gives the double-height space weight and texture.

  3. 03

    Indoor–outdoor flow

    Dining opens directly to the garden for long lunches and evening gatherings.
