THE D.O.C.

House

The house’s form is characterized by clean, linear geometry softened by its rounded roof edges, which give it a sleek yet welcoming aesthetic. One of the most captivating aspects of the design is the organic, sculptural stair formation that cascades from the entrance into the landscape. These steps, appearing almost as if carved from the terrain, blend architecture with nature, reinforcing a sense of continuity between the built and natural environment. The soft grass weaving between them creates a biophilic connection, breaking the rigidity of the structure with an organic, living texture.

The interplay of white surfaces, wooden slats, and black accents creates a sophisticated and modern aesthetic. The organic, sculptural steps blending into the landscape are particularly striking—they feel both natural and dynamic, integrating the house beautifully with its surroundings.

The vertical wooden louvers not only provide shading but also reinforce the nest-like concept, adding warmth and texture while maintaining a sense of openness. The cantilevered upper floor with rounded edges gives the structure a sleek yet soft modernist touch.

The dominant white surfaces reflect purity and simplicity, creating a stark contrast with the black window frames and structural elements, which emphasize depth and precision.

Vertical wooden louvers introduce a rhythmic texture that both complements the rectilinear forms and enhances the idea of permeability—offering shade, privacy, and an ever-changing play of light and shadow.

The matte black column stands as a bold sculptural element, grounding the design while creating a striking contrast against the natural wood and white plaster.

From the outside, the house projects a sense of openness yet protection—a contemporary “nest” concept that reflects the client’s identity. The interplay between transparency and enclosure ensures privacy without isolation, while the elevated terraces and expansive glazing invite natural light deep into the interiors.
