Sanctuary House

Sanctuary House is designed for Gloria and Dorian Cole. Gloria has severe anxiety, is claustrophobic and is essentially homebound. The house was designed to accommodate Gloria's mental illness and essentially create her sanctuary where she can work from home as an architect alongside her husband. The house has a minimalist design, with a natural colour scheme and an open-concept floor plan. The exterior is mainly white stucco with stone framing around the windows and sublet wood accents that also carry into the interior.
