HomeShow showhouse 6 combines modern and contemporary design

The inspiration for the house is a combination of modern and contemporary design. The modern elements of the house are evident in the clean lines, open plan layout, and use of natural materials. The contemporary elements of the house are evident in the use of large windows, sloping roofs, cantilevered slabs, skylights and outdoor living spaces.

HomeShow showhouse 6 and the courtyard design principle 

The courtyard design principle that the house was designed around creates a sense of enclosure and privacy. The house is surrounded by walls on three sides, and the fourth side is open to the patio and garden area which flows into the pool area. This creates a sense of being sheltered from the outside world, while still allowing for plenty of natural northern light and ventilation. The courtyard also serves as a focal point for the house. The living, dining, and kitchen areas all open onto the courtyard, which provides a central gathering space for the family and guests. The courtyard is also a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

The vision for the house is to create a space that is both modern and stylish, yet also comfortable and inviting. The open plan layout allows for easy flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, while the large windows bring in plenty of natural light.
