The Brief

The client wanted a home that felt expansive within a constrained urban plot. Three non-negotiables: minimal, timeless, and emotionally grounding — not just aesthetically, but functionally. The layout needed to support daily life intuitively, with movement that felt natural rather than designed.

With a strong focus on user experience, I led the project from first concept to final handover — coordinating directly with artisans and craftspeople to ensure the quality of finish matched the restraint of the concept.

Approach

Function-first, then warmth. The spatial strategy centred on three moves: clear zoning for movement, warm materials that age well, and thoughtful transitions between rooms that avoided the abruptness common in compact urban homes. Every finish was selected for tactility — how it would feel to live with over years, not how it photographed on day one.
