Water at the centre of the house — not to be looked at, but to be lowered into.

A few steps below the surface, the day stops reaching you. This is where the family ends the evening, where the noise of the city does not follow you in.

Water that holds the last of the light long after the sun has gone.

Materials

White marble, honed travertine, slatted iroko soffits, slim-framed structural glazing, cream plaster. The hard materials are kept outside and underfoot, the soft ones kept upstairs — so the house cools as you climb it.
