New house for Client in an exclusive Residential Estate

House sits on a sloping double site, facing east with distant views of the Indian Ocean and the coastal forest. The site access is narrow, from a cul de sac at the rear on a higher level. with a large accommodation brief the house steps down the site in a series of terraced blocks and held together by the circulation spine expressed externally in a dark painted textured plaster vertical thick wall.

Between the blocks, gardens, pool and decks flow off of the living spaces. Tucked in below are the basement parking, services areas and cinema room.

The house is an interplay of introverted and extroverted spaces attempting to maximize the site in terms of privacy, view, sunlight, climate, openness and individual expression
