Gallery House

Meditative yet modern, the Gallery House is a seamless contemporary design. Beyond the monochromatic and megalithic façade, the interior is pervaded by an earthy warmth. Despite the modernity of the architecture and interiors, there is an unmistakable storybook quality to each room, thanks to the bounty of windows with picture-postcard vistas. Whether it be the main garden with the pool or a smaller secondary courtyard, there is an aspect of the outdoors to every room.  Meanwhile, luxuriant gardens flank the living room on either side, making it unclear where, or whether, the built form really ends. In an effort to maintain a sense of seamlessness between the upper and lower floors, the architect Workroom fashioned a double-height ceiling at the very centre of the home, in such a way that the kitchen, dining and living spaces can be viewed from any level.
