View from the south-west garden looking toward the main house and pool. The single-storey villa features a broad hip roof clad in dark grey clay tiles with generous eave overhangs supported by exposed timber framing. Walls are finished in warm limewash plaster (sandy beige tone). The poolside terrace uses light-toned hardwood decking extending from the house to the pool edge, with a row of teak sun loungers. The infinity-edge swimming pool has a dark-bottom finish (likely PebbleTec dark blue/charcoal). Landscaping is lush tropical — tall coconut palms, traveler's palms, bird of paradise, heliconias, frangipani, and dense undergrowth. A natural stone stepping-stone path (irregular flagstone) connects the garden to the terrace. A traditional Japanese stone lantern (tōrō) sits at the garden edge. Large boulder accents anchor the planting beds. Floor-to-ceiling timber-framed glass doors with wooden lattice transoms open the interior to the pool terrace. A rattan armchair sits on a small timber deck platform in the foreground garden.

Wider view from the south-east showing the full backyard. The main house stretches across the background with its dark grey hip roof and deep covered terrace. A wooden kids' treehouse is visible at the left edge, elevated in a mature tree with a small ladder. The swimming pool occupies the center-right, flanked by a light hardwood deck with two pairs of cushioned teak sun loungers and a folded parasol. The house facade shows lattice screen panels (cross-hatch timber pattern) alongside full-height glazing. A curved flagstone garden path wraps from the front entrance around to the pool area. Dense tropical garden beds with palms, banana plants, plumeria, and ground-cover tropicals fill the perimeter. The lawn is lush manicured grass. An outdoor dining area under the deep eave is visible through the terrace.

Front facade from the main entrance/parking area. The house presents a restrained, welcoming face with a large decorative breeze block / perforated masonry screen wall (grid pattern, cream/white) flanking the entry. The main entrance is a recessed timber-framed glass door set between the breeze block screen and a solid limewash wall. The roof is the same dark grey clay tile hip roof with a clean fascia edge. Landscaping at the entrance includes potted tropical plants, terracotta vessels, and a pair of woven bamboo lanterns (Thai-style conical floor lanterns) flanking the entry path. A thatched-roof sala/pavilion (guest bungalow or office structure) is partially visible at the right edge with a natural grass/palm thatch roof. The driveway/parking area uses geometric concrete pavers (interlocking pattern, grey tones). A mature rain tree or banyan provides canopy shade over the entrance area. The zen-garden style gravel and stepping stones lead to the front door.

Living room looking toward the garden/pool through floor-to-ceiling windows. The vaulted raked ceiling in dark-stained real wood lining boards with heavy exposed timber beams creates a grand yet warm volume. A single round concrete structural column punctuates the open-plan space. The walls are limewash plaster in warm putty grey. The floor is polished micro cement (warm light grey). Furnishings: a large low-profile L-shaped linen sofa in oatmeal/cream with olive green and beige scatter cushions, paired with a slab-style teak accent chair (Japanese-influenced, low with thick cushion). A stunning live-edge timber coffee table (likely suar/rain tree wood, natural edge, warm amber tone) sits center. A woven jute/seagrass area rug (rectangular, natural tan) anchors the seating. A round upholstered ottoman/pouf in sage green sits as accent seating. The 3-blade timber ceiling fan (palm-leaf style, natural wood) hangs from the peak. Wall-mounted cylindrical sconce lights (warm glow) flank the windows. Tall indoor tropical plants — fiddle-leaf fig, bird of paradise — stand near the glass walls. Through the windows: a clipped green hedge wall, the garden, and the guest unit beyond. Sheer white linen curtains frame the doors.

Living room viewed from the garden side looking back toward the entrance and kitchen. This angle reveals the decorative timber screen wall separating the entry/hallway from the living area — a striking geometric pattern of diagonal and vertical timber slats in warm medium wood, with a built-in window seat/bench below (olive green cushion, decorative pillows). An abstract carved timber wall panel (labyrinth/maze motif) hangs as art. Behind the screen, the kitchen island with bar stools and linear pendant light are visible. The open-plan flow between living, dining, and kitchen is clear. The same vaulted raked wood ceiling with exposed beams continues overhead. The round concrete column divides the space. Same living room furniture arrangement — L-shaped sofa, live-edge coffee table, jute rug, accent chair. Through the glass walls at right: the garden terrace with an outdoor seating area visible, and the thatched-roof guest structure in the background.
Same living room, entrance-side view, now captured at evening / blue hour. The mood transforms dramatically: the warm artificial lighting creates an intimate, cocooning atmosphere. Recessed ceiling downlights (warm white ~2700K) wash the dark wood ceiling lining with pools of light. Cylindrical wall sconces emit warm directional light along the limewash walls. The linear kitchen pendant glows warmly in the background. LED strip lighting illuminates behind the geometric timber screen wall, creating a backlit halo effect. The live-edge coffee table catches warm reflections, revealing its amber resin detail. Through the windows, the garden is visible in blue-hour twilight with green garden lighting, and the pool terrace glows softly. The same furniture arrangement reads much warmer and more intimate — the oatmeal linen sofa and olive/sage green accents feel richer under tungsten-temperature lighting. Decorative objects on the built-in bench are more visible: stone spheres, woven baskets, ceramic vessels.

The master bathroom with a luxurious tropical spa atmosphere. Floor-to-ceiling sage green zellige tiles (handmade, glossy, vertical format with visible variation) cover the feature walls. A lower band of light stone/concrete wainscoting breaks the tile at hip height. The floating timber vanity in warm walnut tone has a light stone countertop with dual oval vessel basins (white ceramic) and matte black tall mixer taps. Below the vanity, a second open timber shelf holds a woven tray. A large ceiling-hung rectangular mirror with rounded corners is suspended by matte black metal rods from the ceiling — behind it, a floor-level garden window reveals tropical greenery (banana leaves, palms), creating the signature indoor-outdoor connection. The 3-blade timber ceiling fan (natural pale wood, leaf-shaped blades) hangs center. A dark timber louvred door (plantation shutters style) leads to the adjacent dressing area, with warm LED strip lighting at the floor. The floor appears to be warm-toned timber or wood-effect tile. A textured zen-pattern bath mat (concentric circles, natural fiber) sits on the floor. Accessories: candle in amber glass, fresh flowers in vase, woven basket, slippers.

The self-contained guest unit / Airbnb lock-off interior — a compact open-plan living and kitchen space. The vaulted ceiling (asymmetric gable) is dark-stained timber with exposed beam at the peak, giving generous height to the small footprint. Walls are limewash plaster in warm grey. The kitchenette along the right wall features light ash/oak-toned flat-panel cabinetry (upper and lower) with a grey stone/concrete countertop and backsplash. A small breakfast bar extends from the counter with 2 rounded wooden bar stools. A stainless steel refrigerator sits at the far end. Above the bar: a woven rattan pendant light (dome/basket shape). The living area has a curved/bouclé sofa in cream/oatmeal with a chunky knit throw and textured cushions. A round wooden coffee table (dark walnut, low-profile) with a cast iron teapot. A brass table lamp with fabric shade sits on a side table. The floor is polished micro cement (light warm grey). The front wall has timber-framed French doors with perforated breeze block screen visible through transoms (grid pattern, matching main house). Sheer white curtains filter light. Indoor tropical plants — dracaena and smaller potted varieties — add greenery. A textured white plaster art piece (abstract botanical relief) hangs on the left wall.
