The project is a renovation where the existing house was totally revamped to create a serene pool villa responding to the existing trees and vegetation.



The clients wanted to have a tropical haven which embraces the local climate, flora and fauna, whilst using the property as a 3 bedroom rental villa.



The holistic approach in design was to re-use the existing materials and using it to create a unique ambience. The colours, textures and materials were crafted giving due attention to light and shadow play throughout the spaces.




The colour palette played a major role in the design so as to create a minimal theme throughout.



The interior design and landscape design highlights the minimal architectural metaphor used.
