These pages: With so much of the home’s liveable space outdoors and under cover, the architect came up with a novel way to ensure a warm, natural light on the terrace. The roof is punctuated with square light wells with honey-coloured translucent onyx slabs. These admit natural light by day and are supplemented by artificial light at night. As a playful addition, the outdoor dining table has the same onyx embedded in its top – as though shadows of the amber onyx are playing across its surface.
