The design is centered around the concept of serenity and calmness. From the moment one steps inside, the design seamlessly merges expansive glazed openings, allowing for a breathtaking connection between the interior and exterior spaces. Sweeping curved walls elegantly lead you through spaces and blur spatial boundaries. Natural light floods the interior, creating a harmonious relationship between the built environment and the surrounding natural beauty.

Central to the design is the creation of a private central courtyard, nestled in the heart of the new home. This secluded outdoor oasis will serve as a tranquil retreat, where the family can gather, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. Surrounding this courtyard, the proposed extension wraps around the existing garden, forming a private sanctuary that perfectly blends the indoors with the outdoors.

The home is thoughtfully divided into two wings. One wing is designed for entertainment, bringing the family together in a spacious and inviting environment. This area is ideal for hosting gatherings and spending quality time with family. The other wing is designed specifically for the children, providing them with a place of retreat and privacy. These separate spaces ensure that the family members can enjoy their own domains while maintaining a strong sense of togetherness.
