The planning and design of the construction have been guided by three important challenges: maximizing pure mild as the first generator, blurring the boundaries between the inside and exterior, and sustaining a constant and seamless design in each the exterior and inside look of the constructing.
The spatial planning directions granted a singular and difficult character to the plot. The areas on the bottom flooring have been unfold out in line with the shopper’s necessities, with nice consideration to creating them as unbiased entities that collectively type a steady and immersive narrative and expertise.
The kitchen is situated on the entrance a part of the constructing, whereas the residing house on the other aspect opens as much as the backyard and the pool by way of its two facades, related by a visible axis and a strolling path. The ceiling of the residing house extends outward in a unified aircraft, blurring the boundaries between the inside and exterior of the construction. Between these two areas, one can discover the eating nook, the place the home converges each horizontally and vertically.
The eating nook is surrounded by light-weight metal stairs painted in white, built-in with wood steps which have the identical end because the flooring in the remainder of the areas. The walkway and the ascent of the steps evoke comparable optical and aesthetic sensations, thus offering a unified expertise. Within the heart of the house and on the prime of the steps, a glass ceiling is designed to light up the central house with pure mild, creating dynamic and ever-changing lighting with out limits. In consequence, the supplies—wooden, metal, and plaster—differ as one ascends or descends the steps.
The small print of the facades, the steps, and the horizontal and vertical mild openings are woven collectively in a cohesive idea, making a complete expertise. Ranging from the doorway on the bottom flooring and ascending the steps in direction of the supply of pure mild, the construction unfolds and generates further dynamism. The white concrete walkways intersect and correspond with the brightness of pure mild. The descent is textured by heat wood steps, contrasting the skyward orientation of pure mild and the brightness.
The distinction intensifies as one ascends to the second flooring of the constructing. In the master suite, a custom-made carpentry wall cupboard was designed, with one of many doorways resulting in a toilet coated in darkish stone, textured and intersecting with a strip of pure mild that spreads alongside the toilet, giving the stone a brand new and dynamic texture.
