Tucked away at the end of a quiet court in old Ocean Grove, this custom home was designed to offer a sense of calm and privacy within a compact, urban setting. The brief called for a modest yet character-filled home that felt like a retreat—somewhere to relax, recharge, and feel connected to the outdoors.

The design elevates the living spaces and main bedroom to the upper level, making the most of both privacy and natural light. Greenery is used throughout—both inside and out—to soften the built form and create a stronger link between the indoor environment and the surrounding garden.
