Meet the House of Breathing Stone-a modern marvel crafted for a family of eight, snugly fitting into a 5,000 sq ft plot. Picture five bedrooms, a multipurpose room (because who doesn't love options?), and open-concept living spaces that flow effortlessly from dining to living room to kitchen. And let's not forget the interactive garden - a green oasis that ties the whole design together, keeping the family vibe vibrant and nurturing.
Tucked away among lush agricultural fields, this west-facing home doesn't just sit in nature-it gives it a big, warm hug. Front and center is a cluster of mature trees, with a majestic coconut tree stealing the spotlight near the house. These leafy neighbours inspired us to craft a breathable facade-essentially the house's way of striking up a conversation with its environment. This design choice creates a unique dialogue between indoors and out, making Mother Nature an integral part of daily life.
