A low villa and infinity pool set into a rocky cove.
A private retreat by the sea: a stone entrance court, a long open living pavilion, a pool that reaches out over the water, and a landing for a boat.
A long, thin timber roof floats over glass and stone, kept low so the pine-covered slope stays in view. The pool edge cantilevers over the clear water, so swimming and the sea become one view.
Stone, timber and planting from the site, and a building that stays low and quiet in its landscape.
Sinai, Egypt · Residential
We started with the canyon, not the plot. Two long floors sit back into the rock under deep roof planes, and the lower level opens straight onto a still pool that reads as an extension of the water.
The house takes its character from the place, so it cannot date.
United Kingdom · Residential
Warm brick, timber and stone give the house a settled feel, and large panes of glass tie inside to garden. The plan is arranged around arrival first and the terrace second.
Natural materials that weather well and a calm, balanced front.
Amman, Jordan · Residential
The house follows the slope in terraces. Limestone walls and olive planting root it in the hillside, and gates and walls give privacy without turning its back on the view.
Local stone, planting and a low profile mean it will weather into the hill.
