architect’s studio contains a large hexagonal void

DESIGNBOOM

conceived as a ‘patchwork of rooms’, the property’s living accommodation is divided across the two subsequent storeys, with a garage, guest room and bathroom at ground level, and cooking and dining facilities joining the master bedroom above. the layout seeks to foster an open and communal way of living, with constant visual connections ensuring that the family are able to maximize the time spent together in the home.
