KOEN HOUSE
​
As you approach this remarkable residence, the first glimpse of its addition is revealed through a Japanese courtyard. The entry space, deliberately pushed back from the street, creates a sense of separation from the outside world, inviting visitors to leave behind the hustle and bustle and enter a realm of tranquility and peace. The courtyard serves as a gateway, a transition point that transports you from the outside world into the serenity of a Japanese-inspired oasis.
​
To further enhance the Japanese courtyard space, the entry area has been thoughtfully lowered from the street level. This design choice not only creates a sense of coziness but also offers privacy and seclusion, shielding from the noise and distractions of the surrounding environment.
