The site faces a street on the west side. All other sides are
surrounded by neighbouring
houses on the north and south side.
The brief received was to find calmness in the chaos
of daily life. The dwelling is designed for a family of a
Mid-age couple with one son, in which
spaces are designed to cater to the daily needs that
represent them to the new
generation.
Façade design has an interesting element of playfulness in
it, as we weaved symmetric
boxes in the centre of the building and growing
vertically, creating visual
movement and different focal points of interest.
The studio's perspective was focused on creating a
spacious and well-lit home.
Experiencing the onsite situation we felt the need to bring
natural element inside the built
envelope that allows them to enjoy surroundings
uninterrupted without going out. This
promotes well-being, health, and emotional comfort.
Architecturally, there are many pockets of lights which
were inserted through skylights
which create a beautiful sequence of spaces, an
interesting play of natural light and
shadows to enhance the experience for the occupants.
Each room is located around the double heights so that the
family members can feel united and interact from all
levels.
This home is an attempt of contemporary architectural
space that adopts the principles
of minimalism and tropical architecture and design.
