District One Mansion

A lagoon-front villa, composed room by room

District One's crystal lagoon gives every villa here a resort address without leaving the city — and this commission leaned into that duality, blending relaxed, holiday-house materiality with the finish level of a full-time residence. Interiors open toward the water on the ground floor and turn more private and enclosed upstairs.

Warm oak, honed limestone and linen-toned upholstery carry through the principal living spaces, while the kitchen and family room were designed as the true centre of the home — a single, generous volume built for a family that actually lives in the house, not just photographs it.
