Circuit House

With the act of arriving as its organising principle. A rounded timber storage unit stands between the entrance and living room, creating a pause in the passage from outside to within. Shoes are removed, bags set down, and the routines of the day begin to loosen their hold.

Combining storage with ambient illumination, the joinery gives this threshold a presence beyond its practical role. Its curved edges and raised body allow views to continue around and beneath it, preserving a sense of connection between the adjoining spaces. Beyond, filtered daylight settles across pale upholstery and timber surfaces. The home unfolds through these small changes in enclosure, light and pace.
