ASTER VALE / THE RIDGE
A home, in five chapters
A home with perspective.
Space for every rhythm.
A two-story home with a sheltered upper terrace and a long view through the living spaces. Bedrooms sit above a generous, connected ground floor.
01 / Step inside
Together, with room to be apart.
A connected ground floor makes gathering easy. Above it, quieter bedrooms create a natural retreat. The upper terrace offers another way to be outside, with a different view of the day.
