This project seeks to transform family living by adopting a more inclusive and interconnected approach. By redefining and erasing the boundary between two houses - the new and the old ancestral home - we create an activity garden that fosters joy and interaction for both sides, both generations, without compromising individual autonomy. At the heart of this garden lies the ‘Family Circle’, a knot of shared experiences that will be passed down for generations to come.

open-plan living room is for easy entertaining, its walls of glass doors leading onto the pool terrace and highlighting the stunning views and tropical setting. (The doors fold back completely for open-air sea-breeze living, or can be closed to create air-conditioned comfort.) Within the central section, the large over-size built in sofa with cream feather filled seat cushions , timber & hide occasional chairs with footstools, ottomans and a collection of small moveable tables Moroccan rugs adorn the floors of the villa living areas and bedrooms. Hand made fish trap lights come alive at night casting shadows on the white walls. The kitchen features limed teak cabinets and white stone benchtops, with a large island bench for casual meals and entertaining. DESIGN: Jodie Cooper Design Agus Darmika Photography

As you step into the lounge, your breath is immediately taken away by the room’s captivating yet subtle charm. The walls are wrapped in vibrant tropical botanical garden wallpaper, alive with rich colors of exotic plants, creating an immersive visual experience. Framing the windows, painted in Mylands’ Artillery Ground, are large potted trees that echo the verdant designs of the wallpaper, seamlessly merging the indoors with nature. Beneath your feet, hessian grass rugs soften the tiled flooring, anchoring the space in organic texture. Deep green velvet sofas and burnt orange armchairs offer plush seating, each adorned with luxurious velvet cushions that mirror the bold hues of the wallpaper and tie harmoniously to the adjoining conservatory dining area. Above, the ceiling soars into a lofty space adorned with 40 handcrafted grass pendants, suspended at varying heights. These pendants sway gently with the breeze, adding a dynamic, natural movement to the room’s tranquil atmosphere. Complementing the setting, handmade coffee tables and woven grass baskets emphasise the use of natural, artisanal materials throughout. The lounge flows effortlessly into the rich copper-clad bar area, maintaining a cohesive aesthetic that brings the outdoors indoors. Every element in the space reflects a commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship, while the vibrant tropical theme creates a relaxing yet luxurious environment, perfect for lounging, socialising, and soaking in the beauty of this park-inspired retreat.

Re-modelling an existing layout from an old country look to a new modern take on country style. This budget kitchen was in need of a makeover and light and bright was a key factor in the re-design.

The stairway is designed to function as not just a means of connecting the different floors, but also, steps widen to become seats and alcoves formed to display artwork. Photographs by Renuka Rodrigo
