A fusion of sculpture and building, the Stiletto House by EHKA Studio demonstrates the possibility of departing from typical rectilinear forms while responding to local planning guidelines and maximizing plot efficiency.
Though thoroughly contemporary in form, the design makes references to tropical architecture with sensuous free-flowing forms and dramatic overhangs.
Interestingly, the client is an avid collector of antiques and ultra-modern furniture. As such, the house displays, while being a display in and of itself.
A large double volume space sits at the core of the design. While spaces of such height can otherwise seem rigid and overpowering, here the house strives to strike a delicate balance between the traditional masculinity of grand space and the sensuous, fluid nature of free-flowing curves.
