A minibar and storage area are hidden behind another section of the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.

Davor (with his wife, Abbe, and son, August) designed the main living and dining pavilion as a double-height space to increase its perceived volume, and added high cubbies for extra storage.

Set on the highest point of the property, the house offers panoramic views.

The office includes a Chapman and Bailey desk.

The serene home office of Taula House by M Gooden Design gazes out onto the backyard.

An office space is located in a second pavilion. Similar to the other areas, a sliding door opens the room to a private patio, while the sloping roofline rises up to meet clerestory windows that drench the space in natural light.

The home also offers a large office and craft space. Large sliding doors and windows brighten the space with natural light.

The study nook is tucked away beneath the stair, making clever use of otherwise dead space. The glass No.10 pendant lights are by local lighting brand Lumil in a custom purple color that echoes the purple upholstery in the retreat.

The study nook features a long desk that provides access to the home’s side entrance when partially folded up.

A third-floor study room overlooks the atrium.

In the parsonage volume, the floors are American oak with a black finish. An integrated desk designates a place to work from home.

A bespoke oak desk in the more private family room on the first floor offers a space for family members to work or study in private.

An inspiring place to work or read, the cozy home office features teak flooring, desk, and wall paneling. The warmth and simplicity of the interior allows nature—even the tiniest of life forms—to come into full focus.

A timber screen divides the library/study within the living space. It can be opened up to make a direct connection, or left closed for a layer of privacy. This was a key element of the scheme, as it creates a direct line of view through the living spaces from the sunken courtyard to the water.

The second level showcases built-in cabinetry and an office area crafted from cedar.
