The entire home is based on an open plan. The ground floor, which includes the main living space as well as kitchen and dining area, opens to a screened courtyard with a large swimming pool in its center. An additional striking feature of the house is the outdoor room with fireplace, sitting area, and BBQ. This room is protected by a retractable shade cover. Most indoor and outdoor spaces of the house are characterized by light wood cladding to offer a uniform style that blends perfectly with the surroundings. Below you can see some more images of the plot. All photos have been taken by Patrick Reynolds.
