This is the Scandi House, its pared back and simple geometric forms evoking Scandinavian precedents.

The restrained facade reveals little to the street, but behind the finely battened entry gate the house opens up and draws the outside in.

A private entry courtyard is coupled with a further slip of courtyard that runs the length of the main hallway, drawing in light and immersing the house in green.

Soaring cathedral ceilings through the main living areas combine with a fully glazed rear facade to create a contemporary space awash with natural light, and the subtle material palette of whitewashed oak, white and pale silver offers a sense of calm and respite.
