City
quiet.

A timber-and-black house that opens to its garden and keeps the street at a distance.

Contemporary house clad in timber and black, with a glazed pavilion opening onto a lawn under a large tree

A house that turns away from the noise and opens towards light, lawn and a very old tree.

The design keeps a calm, closed face to the street and opens generously to the garden. A glazed pavilion in charred-timber tones links the living spaces to the lawn, so the tree becomes part of the interior.

Inside, we continued the exterior palette — warm timber, matte black, soft grey — so the boundary between house and garden reads as a gradient rather than a line.
