Challenge The client is a businessman who receives customers at home. A conventional villa forces every visitor — family guest, business client, household member — through the same front door and the same circulation. The brief was to separate these worlds without building three houses.

Concept Three paths, one building. Each arrival — guest, family, business — enters, moves, and exits on its own line. The paths run in parallel through the plan and meet only once, at a double-height entry that acts as the single shared threshold.

Key moves A guest wing on the west ground floor holds its own majlis, sitting room, bedroom, and stair. A business client meets the owner in the first-floor office by walking up through this wing — never crossing into the family house. The family enters separately and lives around a pool courtyard that every family bedroom overlooks; none of the guest rooms do. A direct link between the master bedroom and the office lets the owner move from private life to work without touching either of the other two paths. Below, the basement opens onto a sunken English court, pulling daylight into the floor most houses leave dark.
