Hidden from the street is a private swimming pool with an outdoor shower and sitting area. Plants have been used as a decorative element along the walls, adding a contrasting element to the black brick.

Large wooden surfaces are used throughout the house to connect the different areas.

In the kitchen, a matte black island and matching stools create a strong contrasting element when compared to the minimalist light wood cabinets and the white light fixture.
