Our first meeting set the tone. The client wanted a calm city home that came alive at night, with privacy from the street and generous light inside. We sketched a simple idea, a quiet stone plinth with a single sculpted frame that holds a veiled upper floor. That veil became the “Noctis screen,” a custom pattern we developed with the client by testing cardboard cut-outs and full-scale metal samples in the evening light. By day the screen softens glare and heat, by night it glows like a lantern and lets the family see out without being seen.
