Architectural Story

At the Countway Residence, the sequence of arches creates a measured rhythm that guides movement through the home. Each passage frames daylight differently, shifting the mood as one moves from courtyard to living space.

Materials were chosen for their quiet permanence: pale stone, lime plaster, and timber accents. These textures invite touch and age gracefully, ensuring the house evolves in character with time.

Countway Residence interiors and light

Every choice within the residence was guided by sensory experience. The aim was not only to frame views but to shape how sound, touch, and temperature are felt as one moves through the home.
