Sable House began with a simple but underrated observation: bigger doesn't necessarily mean better. The existing house already occupied an extraordinary site, yet it wasn't taking advantage of it. The landscape felt disconnected, the arrival sequence lacked purpose, and many of the spaces were dysfunctional.
Rather than asking how we could create a larger house, we asked how we could create one that genuinely elevated our clients' lives. That shift changed every decision that followed. Instead of expanding unnecessarily, we reconfigured, refined and reconnected the existing house to its landscape.
Every project begins by understanding the real problem. Often, the brief clients present is not the brief they need solved. Our role is to look beyond the obvious, uncover the emotional brief beneath the practical one, and challenge assumptions before drawing solutions.
The project reflects our belief that architecture, interiors and landscape should never be designed independently. People experience a single place, not separate professional disciplines. When those boundaries are blurred, every decision reinforces the next, creating a house that feels resolved, cohesive and complete.
A restrained palette of Anthracite Oak timber veneer, Arabescato Orobico natural stone, Basalt Black porcelain and engineered oak flooring reinforces that philosophy, allowing materiality, craftsmanship and natural light to define the character of the interiors.
Sable House demonstrates that better living comes from better thinking. It reflects our belief that the most successful designs resonate on an emotional level, creating places that people feel deeply connected to, even if they can't always explain why.
