A tall, narrow home of concrete, warm timber and trailing green.
The project
On a compact 1,210 sq ft plot, the house rises four slender levels in board-formed concrete gridded into quiet bays. A full-height timber-slat panel warms the core and screens the terraces, while corner glazing pulls daylight deep into the narrow plan.
Planned to Vastu and built to breathe: cavity walls temper heat and sound, stack ventilation and open planning move air up through the section, and a water-conservation tank and solar-ready roof carry the house toward self-sufficiency. By night the timber glows and the trailing greenery reads as soft silhouettes against the lit rooms.

A hand study of the street corner, the concrete-panel grid, timber-slat core and the cascading planted balconies drawn before the render.
