Reproduction core

  1. 01Make the lowered sand tile and the one-step-higher timber floor clearly different so the real arrival sequence reads immediately.
  2. 02Use teal plaster as the large entry backdrop and face it toward a translucent planted court to bring in landscape depth.
  3. 03Keep the front door closed and plain so bench, court, and threshold remain the entry's structural story.
  4. 04Place teak bench and closed storage on the interior side, separating sitting, bags, and shoes from the wet shoe zone.
  5. 05Let ribbed glass blur plants and daylight, protecting privacy while leaving a deep green glow inside.
