The project demonstrates how careful, creative

planning and design can be applied sensitively to generate a comfortable,

luxurious, and sustainable family home.

The house is a contemporary

interpretation of a traditional courtyard house, laid out around a central

green courtyard with a double height stair and entry area forming the focal

point of the project. The L-shaped plan creates open spaces which encourage

natural ventilation and offer resident’s views over the courtyard to the

verandah, roof gardens and beyond. Lushly planted roof gardens surround the

house and add to the effect that nature is evident in every part of the house.

The large roof above the courtyard creates an indoor and outdoor space leading

to the gardens and swimming pool which wraps around two sides of the house.Maryland Drive is a modest and luxurious residential

design which gives residents opportunities to live in harmony and comfortably

with nature.
