Turn-Key Scope
Full architectural fit-out including concept drawings, bespoke teak joinery, lighting choreography, civil MEP, and final handover styling.

Project Narrative
Rather than treating planting as decoration, we used it as structure. Sixty mature specimens define the dining bays, shade the aisles and screen the kitchen from the guest floor.

Spatial Gallery

Documented on handover day by the studio. High-definition views of joinery, textures, and natural lighting.
