The house inverts the conventional domestic experience: entering the house means stepping outside. An interior garden organizes the plan, filters natural light and supports cross-ventilation, while porous brick partitions, concrete and teak create gradual transitions between shared and private spaces. Nature does not accompany the architecture; it orders it.
