The experience of the home unfolds through moments of calm revelation. A narrow entry pathway opens suddenly onto the water-framed central courtyard, “the house’s quiet heart”. From here, the living and dining spaces flow onto a terrace, with a media room and pool below. Light is treated as texture rather than a spotlight – communal zones bask in the west-facing sun, while bedrooms are orientated east for a gentler glow. Each spatial transition is marked by subtle shifts in floor texture, ceiling height, airflow and illumination. “I wanted to explore how the ocean’s generous rhythm could coexist with the artificiality of human space,” says Yang. “This home connects east and west, nature and man-made, past and present.”Private areas are enclosed by translucent textile screens and wooden louvres that diffuse sightlines and soften light. Communal spaces remain open. Continuity, not contrast, defines the palette: stone floors, built-in benches, long shelving systems, wooden handrails and custom bronze details that catch a warm glow at sunset, merging interior and horizon into a single scene.
