Westwood Residence was envisioned as a serene family home that blends modern architecture with warm, livable interiors. Located in the quiet Silverwood District, the project focuses on creating open, breathable spaces that feel connected yet intimate. The client sought a residence that could support both everyday routines and moments of gathering, with a design that remains timeless and rooted in natural materiality. Our approach centered on clarity, simplicity, and spatial harmony.
The homeowners wanted a functional layout that maximized natural light, encouraged family interaction, and offered a strong relationship with the surrounding landscape. They requested a calm, understated aesthetic using neutral tones and organic textures, avoiding anything overly trendy. The goal was to create a space that reflects their lifestyle—quiet, intentional, and comfortable—while offering flexibility as the family grows. The challenge was to balance openness with privacy without compromising flow.
Our design solution embraces clean geometry, soft transitions, and a restrained palette rooted in wood, stone, and matte finishes. Large openings connect the interior to the garden, creating a sense of continuity throughout the home. Each room was shaped by how the family moves through their day, resulting in a layout that feels natural and intuitive. Subtle lighting, well-considered circulation paths, and textural layering bring depth and warmth without overwhelming the simplicity of the design.
The project unfolded through a careful sequence of concept refinement, spatial planning, and onsite coordination. Throughout development, we worked closely with the clients to ensure functional needs aligned with aesthetic intentions. Material selection was guided by durability and longevity, while detailing focused on clean lines and minimal visual noise. Regular site visits helped maintain design integrity as the build progressed, ensuring each element met the studio’s standards for quality and craftsmanship.
Westwood Residence stands as a calm and welcoming home shaped by clarity, proportion, and feeling. The spaces breathe with natural light, the materials age gracefully, and the experience of moving through the house feels effortless. It captures the balance between architectural refinement and everyday comfort, offering the family a sanctuary that will evolve with them through the years. The residence reflects Kiwoo’s core philosophy: thoughtful design that enhances life in quiet, meaningful ways.
