Set within a compact urban footprint, the home prioritises clarity, light and order, allowing everyday life to settle into a measured and composed domestic environment.

The project is guided by an ethos of subtraction. Excess expression is deliberately removed, returning the interior to essential relationships of proportion, alignment and daylight. Within these limits, daily activities are carefully reorganised to support ease and continuity, reinforcing a sense of stillness throughout the home.

A key planning move addresses both visual preference and circulation. To maintain a clean backdrop behind the sofa while avoiding a rear-facing view of the stair, the television wall is positioned along the stairwell. Acting simultaneously as a media wall and balustrade, this element is resolved as a singular, streamlined insertion that consolidates function without visual distraction. Adjacent to this, the shoe closet is fully integrated, preserving a continuous and uncluttered interior. A softened curve gently mediates between the TV wall and storage, introducing flow while maintaining clear definition between uses.

The public areas are conceived as an open and continuous whole. Kitchen, dining and circulation zones transition seamlessly, without rigid thresholds, their boundaries articulated instead through subtle shifts in volume and material. At the centre, a timber island provides both functional support and visual anchorage, reinforcing balance while accommodating the routines of daily life.
