THE MAGNOLIAS

                                                                 THE MAGNOLIAS




CONTEMPORARY STYLE 

Spread across 10,000 sq, ft, the two storeyed home stands poised, quietly tucked away in the dense greenery of the mountain range. The overarching theme of the home is sustainability, where indigenous materials and local craftsmanship have been celebrated through the house.

Behind the solidity of the front facade, a full two-story program is revealed, lightly constructed of glass and steel, opening the living spaces and bedrooms to a vast seascape.
