A modern private villa where a warm wood-and-stone entry opens onto a lantern-lit courtyard — designed and built end to end.
The owners wanted a home that felt warm the moment you stepped in. We shaped a sheltered entry court — natural stone paving, a timber-clad portal and layered lighting — as the heart of the house.
Drag to compare the render with the finished entrance — same angle, same light.
