π‘ Brick, Timber & Stone: Anatomy of a Tropical Home
Why does this home look beautiful and live well? Swipe through to find out. π
This contemporary tropical design pairs layered gable roofs, turned timber columns, a glass-railing balcony and a skylit terrace with a calm palette of exposed brick, textured concrete, river-stone cladding, timber slats and a black metal roof.
Itβs also built to stay cool and work hard every day: deep roof overhangs for shade and monsoon protection, pitched metal roofs, light plastered walls, a covered entry porch, a slatted gate for privacy with airflow, and a planter buffer that softens the street edge. πΏ
Your home should fit your climate, your life and you.
