Villa 23 was a simple brief from the start. The family wanted a home that felt easy to live in, nothing showy, nothing overly designed. Most of our work went into getting the spaces to feel open and comfortable. We used a clean layout, soft colours, and materials that don’t fight for attention. Daylight played a big part in how the rooms came together, so the windows and sightlines were planned before anything else. The house has a steady, lived-in feel, the kind that makes the space warm without adding too many layers.
