Overlook House

Layers of Retreat
A generous deck extends from the upper level, offering an elevated space to pause and look out across the courtyard. Below, it creates shelter and intimacy, providing shade and enclosure for the outdoor living space beneath.

Every Element Activated
The courtyard becomes a multifunctional hub. Large openings connect it to the kitchen and garage, turning everyday rituals into moments of ease. Even parked cars become part of the architecture, framed through a translucent garage façade that offers texture and softness instead of hard edges.

An Urban Garden
Green roofs soften the building’s silhouette and extend nature upward. Skylights throughout the home draw sunlight deep inside, helping the interiors breathe. The result is a space that feels both rooted and open, a home designed for contemporary living, shaped by its place and in tune with the sky.

Form Follows Constraint
The new second storey is shaped by the site’s setbacks, resulting in an elegant folded form. It houses a private main suite that draws in natural light through carefully positioned skylights and operable windows, encouraging passive ventilation and gentle connection to the outdoors.
