The design concept for this house delves into an open floor plan, emphasizing the interconnectivity of space by blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor areas.

Concept

This design concept is realized through the integration of a series of sunken courtyards and cantilevers, complemented by the strategic incorporation of curtain walls and floor-to-ceiling windows. These architectural features afford unobstructed sightlines in both the horizontal and vertical planes, allowing a heightened visual connectivity. The first floor cantilevers towards the South blocking direct sunlight from entering the ground floor.

Entrance

A double heighted entrance welcomes people into the home with a massive angled fin wall that blocks the entry of direct sunlight

Basement Floor

Sunken Courtyards

Sunken courtyards facilitate the influx of natural light into the home at every level, making it airy and comfortable. Green views from the drawing, dining and alfresco sitting areas refresh the senses.

The design is rooted in the site conditions, with the form or massing carefully wrapping around existing trees, paying homage to the natural landscape.
