The open-plan kitchen and living space at Skylark, where a chestnut-timber beamed ceiling meets pale brick and polished concrete floors. A dark veined marble island with tan leather stools anchors the room, while floor-to-ceiling glazing and a tan leather armchair draw the wooded garden into the warm, mid-century-inflected interior.

From above, the playground’s circular platforms, spiral stairs and red mesh railings form a playful topography among dense olive canopies.

The ROKU suite’s bolder language comes into focus through grey plaster walls, exposed brick, terracotta flooring and a sinuous bamboo-slat structure overhead.

A jacaranda arches overhead as a recessed door sits almost flush within the cladding. Above the densely vegetated parapet, the pale plaster volume reveals its restrained, controlled openings.
