Design Challenge
The Brief
The site is narrow and elongated, requiring a strategy that maintains privacy from neighbouring properties while opening the interior to the sky and garden.
Design Concept
The Idea
The villa is conceived as a series of pavilions arranged around a central courtyard, each oriented to capture prevailing breezes and garden views. The courtyard serves as the spatial and emotional heart of the house.

Spatial Strategy
Arrangement
Arrival occurs at the northern edge through a compressed entry sequence that opens into the courtyard. Living and dining pavilions flank the court to the east and west.
