“The living, dining and kitchen spaces were designed with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that slide into a hidden pocket wall. When all the doors are open, the house appears to be totally open to the central garden,” he added. Glass doors before the courtyard allow the latter to be seen when going up the staircase to the first floor. One is also able to look directly into the dining area and kitchen through the central courtyard garden. This creates an intimate connection between the spaces, yet ensures a degree of privacy.
“The design motif used for these screens was taken from the banana leaf. As the owners are Hindus, banana leaves are considered auspicious. We decided to create a subtle design motif that resonates in the façade detail of the house,” explained Melvyn. Today, the owners particularly enjoy the garden and courtyard with the fish pond, as well as the kitchen and dining areas, which serve as the central hub of the house, visually connecting to both the garden and other spaces within the home.
