Text description provided by architect.
The challenge of this residence was the need for an ample leisure space required by the owners.
Therefore, the first level becomes a large area of leisure, alternating between open/covered and indoor/outdoor spaces. This level also houses the utility room, the library, and the guest room.
The upper floor is distributed in two separate areas - the social area, located in the northern portion of the terrain, and the private area, located in the southern part of the lot - connected by a walkway.
With this arrangement, all everyday family activities take place on the upper floor, eliminating the stairs from the routine of the residents.
The geometry of higher volume, which is a particular combination based on the lot’s shape with analyses relevant to the site, provides adequate natural lighting and ventilation, privacy control, and framing of the surrounding perspectives.
