A continuous roofline along the ground floor, ties the entire elevation together. “The two-storey structure on the left contrasts this grounded horizontality and introduces vertical emphasis.”

The design uses a palette grounded in nature – exposed brick, mutedgreys, cobblestone paving and warm roof and ceiling tiles. Earthy textures that let the architecture blend quietly into its landscape. Most of the furniture is custom- made and crafted in teak by Formave and local carpenters.
