House Design Around A Biophilic Courtyard With A Fine Collection Of Frangipani Trees
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
There is something about a quiet day that slows down time, evokes memories of our carefree childhood, and reminds us of our past when days of timelessness existed. In today’s context, however, it is increasingly difficult to forget the notion of time. Imagine relaxing by the garden and pool, sitting under a breezy veranda whilst shaded from the warm tropical sun, teleporting back to that mythological non-time and evoking our memories of timelessness again.
Situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the brief seeks to create a sanctuary, or a retreat of sorts, inspired by the likes of a retirement respite.
An uninterrupted and expansive porte-cochère at the entrance offers glimpses into the flora and fauna a bliss within. The home centers itself around a biophilic courtyard, with a fine collection of Frangipani trees elegantly orchestrated across each floor. The architectural timber sunscreens and travertine stone seek to complement this green composition.
The inherent nature of a central courtyard design is to constantly tie each space back to the outdoors again. Whilst gifting these spaces with an abundance of natural daylight and greenery, the hope, is that one can pause, and possibly evoke timelessness, through ignited memorabilia again.
The principle was to fuse both greenery and outdoor spaces, into a rich and restrained palette of materiality to create a balance between warmth and tactility. Porosity from the full-height glass doors softens the transition between indoor-outdoor and enhances the openness of the entire ground floor. The space, while being generous yet enveloping, stimulates a certain slowness of both mind and movement.
The second-level rooms maintain their connection with the central courtyard through the timber sun screens. This arrangement results in a simple juxtaposition of solid and void, architecture and landscape, harmoniously interweaved into one another whilst respecting the varying natures of each space. A final ascent on the travertine-treaded staircase leads to the private study atop, shielded by the rooftop terrace. The space is acutely discreet but captures the very best of the surrounding canvas of greenery.
Life in itself is a form of balance, a balance between lightness and solidity, openness and enclosure, being present and timelessness. A carefully crafted home has the ability to enliven an inner sanctum for its inhabitants to forget time.

Good luck having to clean and maintain this monster. Been trying to find house designs made around a courtyard, not bad but I can’t stomach the modernism and hard geometry, there is no sense of peace, no sense of refuge and overall it just seems like work to go around the place, too big

If you can afford this house, you can afford a maintenance team, servants, butlers, drivers, security guards for 24/7. Crazy right?

@@stoner27th not my kind of lifestyle having to deal with that many people, I prefer my house to be more peaceful, not having to walk half a kilometer to grab a missing roll of toilet paper neither. I’m not amazed at this, I leave it to anyone who wants it, and even if I was given such a lifestyle and house I wouldn’t take it, crazy right ?

@@stoner27th needless to say you must either have won the lottery or the second option, which seems more embedded within reality is that you must be very dirty in the eyes of God to have that much money. But what a stupid lifestyle, I bet it’s just another ugly fat ass and corrupted mind who wanted to make and own this monster. Ain’t no way you can have « butlers, servants, security 24/7 and maintenance team » without being full of sins if not blood on your hands. You think I was born yesterday snaky snake ? The righteous only get shit to eat, the corrupted get the « high life » huh ? Lol, like I said I wouldn’t take it, there is no sense of peace about this home, no sense of refuge, of intimacy that we all desperately need to shed away from the devils of this world. I know your eyes lust after such things, I let you have it, it’s just not for me regardless, even if I won at the lottery.
