Every project starts the same way for me, pencil on paper, no screens, no shortcuts. Just trying to capture a feeling before it slips away.
With this one, the feeling came easy. From the very first meeting, I knew exactly who I was designing for. My clients are genuinely warm people, the kind that make you feel at home the moment you meet them. So naturally, the house had to feel the same way. That's where the inspiration came from, an architecture that greets you the way they do.
From the first sketch it moved into the 3D model, where I could start testing the idea against reality. Does the roofline feel right? Is the scale honest? And then into rendering, where materials finally show up, the warmth of wood, the weight of white plaster, the way afternoon light cuts through a pergola.
What you see in the first image is the result. But what I'm most proud of is that the final home still feels like that first pencil sketch. The intention survived the process, and for me that's everything, because it means the design stayed loyal to the feeling, which captures the essence of my clients and that makes it honest.
