Overview
CozyHaven is a single-storey residence built around a straightforward idea: a low, wide home that opens to its garden and keeps the family living areas together.
The façade pairs a rendered body with a recessed timber entry and a broad, low-pitched roof, giving the home a horizontal emphasis that suits its wide frontage.
Design intent
The design intent was calm and practical. Nothing is decorative for its own sake; the interest comes from the depth of the entry porch, the change in materials and the way light reaches the living spaces.
The result is a home that is easy to run, easy to clean and comfortable to live in year-round.
