The project demonstrates how careful, creative
planning and design can be applied sensitively to generate a comfortable,
luxurious, and sustainable family home.
The house is a contemporary
interpretation of a traditional courtyard house, laid out around a central
green courtyard with a double height stair and entry area forming the focal
point of the project. The L-shaped plan creates open spaces which encourage
natural ventilation and offer resident’s views over the courtyard to the
verandah, roof gardens and beyond. Lushly planted roof gardens surround the
house and add to the effect that nature is evident in every part of the house.
The large roof above the courtyard creates an indoor and outdoor space leading
to the gardens and swimming pool which wraps around two sides of the house.Maryland Drive is a modest and luxurious residential
design which gives residents opportunities to live in harmony and comfortably
with nature.
