The Arcade Villa

Rows of arched windows and a rendered cornice give the house a classical order, and a timber pergola over the first-floor terrace breaks the symmetry where the family sits outside in the evening. The garden steps down to the pool, so the rear elevation is read across water at dusk.

The interiors continue the order of the facade: an entrance hall with a stair beneath a tall window, a family dining room in white joinery, a formal dining room and a master bedroom, each drawn in the same restrained palette.
