Estate House

Estate House is a contemporary family residence designed around a serene private courtyard that forms the heart of the home. The architectural strategy places this sheltered outdoor room at the centre of daily life, allowing the surrounding living spaces to open fully toward it while maintaining a calm sense of enclosure and privacy. This inward focus softens the transition between interior and exterior, creating a harmonious, protected environment that feels both intimate and expansive.

Inside, the design emphasises warmth, comfort and understated sophistication. A palette of natural timber, textured stone and soft neutral tones establishes a quiet, timeless atmosphere. The carefully considered spatial flow encourages ease of movement between communal and private areas, while crafted joinery, integrated storage and refined detailing support the rhythms of family living without compromising elegance.

The living and dining spaces are arranged to maximise light and connection to the courtyard, transforming it into a year-round extension of the home. Furnishings are curated for their tactility and comfort — generous upholstered pieces, natural textiles and subtle metal accents create a grounded, welcoming aesthetic.

Estate House achieves a delicate balance: a contemporary home that feels both beautifully composed and deeply lived in. Through thoughtful planning and refined materiality, it offers a sophisticated yet approachable environment where family life unfolds effortlessly.
