The idea
Every opening frames the garden.
The Frame is built around views. On the ground floor, the main entrance, reception and formal dining sit on one axis between two planted courtyards. From almost every room, a wall, an opening or a piece of joinery frames a piece of landscape.
The double-height entrance has its own identity. Timber cladding and tall timber columns lead the eye upwards toward a bronze-banded gallery. In the reception, the dining table sits behind a seating island that floats in the middle of the room. The main stair drops from the first floor inside a copper-framed opening. It lands on a dark veined stone plinth beside an indoor garden, linking the two levels and the inside to the courtyard beyond.
Pale stone floors, timber panelling and soft daylight carry through the house. The bedrooms continue in timber, veined stone and light, each with its own tone.

About the project
Timber, stone and a garden in every room
Entry is into the tall hall, wrapped in timber and stone, with the gallery high above. Reception and dining come next, the seating island at the centre and the stair descending in its copper frame to one side. The family room is quieter, with open shelving and the garden beyond. The guest washroom turns to rougher textures. Upstairs, the master suite opens its bathroom to planting, and the bedrooms each find their own tone, from soft neutrals to deep green.
Fluted grey marble forms the feature wall in the master suite, its ridges drawing shadow in daylight. Walnut panelling surrounds it, adding warmth. In the guest washroom, rough-cut stone shapes the vanity, raw against the twin basins. A deep green lattice lines a bedroom wall, the strongest colour in the house. The residence is in Sharjah.
