Raised Veranda Home behind a Boundary Wall Design for Malabe

A shallow gable and long upper veranda remain visible above a solid boundary wall. The gates give the lower arrival a more enclosed character, while the veranda opens toward the trees.

Design notes

What this design explores

A shallow gable and long upper veranda remain visible above a solid boundary wall. The gates give the lower arrival a more enclosed character, while the veranda opens toward the trees. Pale panels and dark metalwork repeat the separation between a private ground edge and an outward-facing upper level.

Test the design from both sides of the gate: a tall wall can offer screening but also affect visibility when entering or leaving in a vehicle. Consider how visitors reach the stair, and how much of the veranda should face outward rather than overlooking the driveway.
