This one-storey dwelling by Studio mk27 stretches to the extremities of the site benefiting from the interior program as much as the exterior garden. A wooden box enveloped in perforated timber panels contains the private bedrooms shaded from direct light and therefore more easily acclimated. The public living spaces are delineated by four slender columns, wrapped in retractable glass doors to immerse the inhabitant in the outdoor environment. Photographs: Nelson Kon
