The house is for a family of three - husband, wife, their child, and a substantial amount of artworks. In this house, we aim to promote the presence of art, not just in the space dedicated for it, but also in every design element.
Concrete Form and Screen – the main body of the house is expressed in a solid off-form concrete volume. The choice of concrete not only provides an ideal background for the artworks but also is timeless and requires absolutely zero maintenance. The concrete screen and trellis, designed around the swimming pool as a modern colosseum, allows the house to be naturally ventilated and cool without relying on any mechanical system.
Pool – the main view of the house, a semi-outdoor open space that starts from the formal dining room, going along the whole living area, and extends all the way to the front. A poetic component that blurs the boundaries between internal and external
Spiral staircase – the centerpiece of the pool, crafted in patinated brass, connecting the spaces of art: The Foyer, The Lounge & Gallery, The Sculpture Garden.
Main staircase – last but not least, the internal vertical connection of the house which doubles up as a library, directly opens to the main Study room. Wrapped in timber veneer, the piece brings warmth to the space. The staggering pattern of the shelves and slanted supports below the stair treads add an intricate touch to the interior.
