Beyond the Surface. Beyond the Ordinary
The design ethos at HAFARY HOUSE revolves around presenting materials in their purest, most evocative state. Tiles are showcased with an industrial treatment—edges left exposed, surfaces sandblasted, and textures juxtaposed—to highlight the robust beauty inherent in each piece. Visitors can trace the unique journey of each material, from its rough, unrefined beginnings to its final, sophisticated application

A creative cluster and a new neighbourhood node. The site’s unique character inspired us to celebrate the key architectural elements of the former school while leaving enough room for imagination and curiosity.
This giant roof is a key idea for many things: It integrates an old house with new spaces for the family, protects the family from the elements and prying eyes, and create spaces for nature within.
