Chromatic House

Rectangular urban plots usually generate rectilinear plans, resulting in compartmentalised domestic lives. Urban families often desire deeper linkages and balance between the home and a private garden. Keen on a light-hearted and vibrant city home, our clients, a young family of five, desired an active lifestyle invested in spending time together. The home blocks extraneous views while expansively opening up to a large lawn, carved diagonally out of the plot. From tinted concrete to shafts of light from skylights, the design infuses playfulness into a rich material palette and stark volumes.
