The Jungle House has been designed to craft different experiences depending on the end-user.
As a result, it comes off as functional and comfortable to its owners but welcoming and inspiring to its guests. Two entrances have been created to help shape these perceptions: the primary and the secondary access.
The way to get around the house daily is through the secondary access: the garage. It’s on the opposite side of the main access, which happens to be the lowest part of the house. It’s an immediate entry that allows a more convenient use of the space and facilitates day-to-day life.
