This home is a quiet retreat, shaped to support a private, health-focused family life. It embodies a seamless connection between inside and out, where architecture frames nature and daily living flows in dialogue with the garden. Set against a quiet, dark architectural palette, the vibrant landscape and lush courtyards envelop the experience.

The design retains the scale and spirit of the neighborhood, while distilling the experience down to what matters most: connection—within the family, to nature, and to wellness.
A tall gate marks the entrance, revealing a view through the heart of the home. Mature pines anchor the property and create a sense of continuity with neighboring trees. Space is defined as much by plantings as by walls—a deliberate balance between nature and dwelling.
Outdoor gardens are designed with purpose. Swimming, play, and gathering unfold in defined yet fluid spaces. The architecture steps back, its walls subtly carved away to preserve sightlines, keeping the landscape always in view.
