Sculptural clarity, enhanced by charred wood

In this contemporary residential project, the architectural strength emerges from contrast. A clear, light volume appears to float above the ground floor, while the dark timber façade beneath anchors the building within its green surroundings. The combination of clean lines, deep overhangs and vertical façade rhythm gives the residence a distinct, almost sculptural presence.

The design approach attempts to create a built form that is created from the interplay between contradictory - complementary elements that reference the particular setting and the wider location. Organic shapes from black volcanic stones follow the curved contour lines creating a landscape that reflects the shape of the terrain.
