Overall building approach; identified as a 'sustainable renovation' that leads to more energy efficiency and gaining more sustainable benefits to the project. The entrance from the main road is emphasized by an aquamarine colour reclaimed, two antique entry doors, and two frangipani trees giving the entry feeling to the villa. The entrance is enhanced by the rustic stone paving with reclaimed pivoted wood panels giving a see-through feeling to the entrance veranda. The living and dining spaces act as the spine of the villa connecting to the greenery outside. The grey interior brings in a calmer and tranquil vibe, while natural timber colours enhance the richness of the space. Bedrooms are designed to create privacy and are well-connected to both sides of the landscape.
