A Home Shaped by Its Site
The Willow Residence began with a walk around the land. Mature trees and long afternoon light suggested a home that would open toward the landscape rather than sit apart from it.
Balancing Privacy and Openness
Bedrooms sit behind solid walls facing the street, while the living spaces open fully to the garden. The result feels private on arrival and generous once inside.
A Warm Material Palette
Timber ceilings, pale stone, and bronze-toned frames give the home warmth. Each material was chosen to look natural beside the trees just outside.
Final Thoughts
The family moved in during spring and tell us the garden now feels like another room. That is exactly what the design set out to achieve.
