House

The house consists of a single-story, L-shaped volume that embraces the courtyard, fostering a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience

Reflects a refined contemporary style while maintaining warmth and livability through material choices and thoughtful spatial organization.

 A flat roof and cubic geometry highlight the contemporary aesthetic, while a subtle overhang provides shade and a sense of shelter. 

01. The Idea

The arrangement of spaces is introverted, offering privacy from the urban surroundings while maintaining an open connection to the courtyard.

The exterior walls are finished in white stucco, contributing to a clean, monolithic look while reflecting natural light to enhance brightness. Wood elements, such as vertical slatted shutters and pergola details, introduce warmth and contrast against the white walls, balancing minimalism with natural textures. 

The deck extends from the house, blurring the boundary between the interior and exterior spaces and emphasizing a continuous spatial flow.

The design carefully responds to the dense urban fabric by creating an inward-focused courtyard, ensuring privacy without compromising openness.

The contrast between the contemporary house and the surrounding traditional buildings highlights the project’s modern identity. The parking area utilizes permeable paving, allowing for natural drainage and a green aesthetic while maintaining functionality.

02. Performing

Large sliding glass doors allow for a visual and physical extension of the interior living space into the outdoor lounge area. Landscaping integrates greenery within the design, softening the hard surfaces and enhancing the biophilic connection.
