This house, on a small site, is deceptive in size and privacy. The separation of the main living area with a large wall and curved corner form is an unobtrusive solution, while the high ceiling and scattered windows create a sense of space and light. Throughout the interior, stark finishes are juxtaposed with warm materials or carefully framed views to garden scenes. By using textures and colours derived from the owners' extensive collection of art, a particularly poignant result has been achieved.
