Casa Marrom is a 4-level house built for a family of 4 -- a couple and 2 teenage kids. Very informal people, they wanted a warm, comfortable house where they could all host friends and have fun together.

From the street a few steps up, one enters the house on ground level. Wide living areas -- sitting, dining and TV rooms -- were designed all in succession and open onto the garden, the patio and even the pool so as to allow full integration between spaces, and interaction between guests. Privacy is achieved in this open plan house with the help of large doors than can be slid out.

















Family bedrooms and a private sitting room were placed on the first floor, while the roof top was turned into a large terrace for overview of the surroundings.
