A travertine and bronze villa with an open living terrace and pool.
A family villa for entertaining: a screened front gate, an open living and dining pavilion that runs out to a terrace, a pool and fire bowl, and bedrooms above with planted balconies.
Travertine piers, a deep dark canopy and timber-lined soffits shade a fully glazed ground floor. A slatted upper floor gives privacy, and olive trees, planters and low planting keep the garden soft.
Natural stone, bronze and timber in a calm composition that will not date.
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.
