Room profile
Here is how the furniture, light, and circulation are arranged.
- SpaceEntryway
- Layout axisFrom the lowered sand-coloured shoe zone, one step rises toward the closed door, teak bench, and translucent planted court
- Focal pointThe teal plaster and the deep green light of planting behind ribbed glass opposite it
- LightFiltered daylight through the glass court and a low ceiling downlight separate the depth of teal, teak, and tile
- Main surfacesTeal plaster, sand large-format shoe tile, raised teak floor and bench, dark timber front door, and ribbed glass
- DensityLow: bench and closed storage on one wall, with the step landing, door swing, and court approach clear
- Clear spaceKeep the lowered shoe zone, raised interior floor, closed-door arc, and bench sitting width independent
Reproduction core
Keep these points in mind when recreating a similar mood.
- Make the lowered sand tile and the one-step-higher timber floor clearly different so the real arrival sequence reads immediately.
- Use teal plaster as the large entry backdrop and face it toward a translucent planted court to bring in landscape depth.
- Keep the front door closed and plain so bench, court, and threshold remain the entry's structural story.
- Place teak bench and closed storage on the interior side, separating sitting, bags, and shoes from the wet shoe zone.
- Let ribbed glass blur plants and daylight, protecting privacy while leaving a deep green glow inside.
