1 day agoA Patch of Grass Turned Into a DIY "Tropical Oasis" Patio
A slanted side yard was transformed into a shaded tropical seating walkway using bamboo, a canopy, and leveled pavers.
With its elongated facade of perforated brickwork, Zero Studio's Haven House sits on an elevated site within a quiet neighborhood in Valiyannur, India. From the road, the dwelling reads as a low, horizontal volume that settles into the terrain and harness the trees, overgrown plantings, and sky as a lush frame. The architects shape the project through proportion and texture over sculptural gesture.
