By prioritizing both aesthetic appeal and functional performance, this dual-occupancy project exemplifies SN Architects’ commitment to designing homes that respond intelligently to their environment while offering a refined, modern living experience.
A key feature of the design is the integration of winter gardens—enclosed balconies positioned off the bedrooms—to act as a buffer against street noise while still allowing residents to enjoy natural light, fresh air, and an outdoor connection. This thoughtful solution enhances comfort without compromising the openness and livability of the spaces.
Inside, the residences feature open-plan living areas that seamlessly connect to private outdoor spaces, creating a balance between openness and privacy.
