This is a clearly custom, courtyard‑centric house with strong Mediterranean/Spanish references — the glazed atrium, barrel‑vault roof elements and a pool at the heart of the plan give it a memorable, one‑off character. Interiors and finishes are dated and would benefit from sensitive updating, but the spatial idea and detailing (timber ceilings, plaster arches, decorative tiles) make it more interesting than a typical project home.
