The residence presents as a grand home with a lush lawn and a charming koi pond retained from the original site. An old septic tank was creatively transformed into an elevated garden, while exposed, treated brick walls preserve the building’s history. Creepers and plants soften the exterior walls, beams, and columns, blending nature with architecture.Inside, a natural palette of browns and greens dominates, accented by warm tones and polished marble floors.

The house features three suites, a guest bedroom, and multiple lounges. The largest lounge includes a theatre kitchen and breakfast area overlooking the lawn. Suites offer walk-in closets and adaptable kid-friendly spaces like a study and a den.The roof hosts gardens, a bar, and sitting areas. The ground floor includes formal dining, sitting areas, a card room, powder rooms, and a swimming pool with deck space. A double-height lounge connects these areas, decorated in off-whites, browns, and accent colors for a relaxed atmosphere. A hidden water garden subtly links the two main units. The basement houses a gym, sauna, massage room, and a multifunctional games/lounge area. Wood and steel details create unity throughout, with feature walls adding warmth and texture. This project's carefully curated elements balance muted tones and natural colors, reflecting a harmony between interior and nature. This home tells a unique story, deeply connecting its inhabitants with the space.
