THESE ARE THE DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS HOUSE
The project was constructed from the framework of an original house situated on a 3,200 sqm—plot of land.
The owners consulted with us on what could be done with the existing house.
They’re looking for a home that exuded modern character, spaciousness, and high privacy.
We conducted a survey of the original house structure and proposed a design approach by keeping the existing foundation as much as possible and expanding more area with new additional structures, including a living room, a master bedroom, and a parking garage.
The design concept explores the proportions of walls, each with a different width, length, and height, defining spaces and creating a unique atmosphere that embraces the openness of the interior.
It seamlessly connects with the garden and outdoor swimming pool but still maintains a high level of privacy from the outside view.
In terms of material selection, due to the fact that the owner grew up in a house with mostly warm-colored wood components, resulting in a desire for a departure from that look.
Therefore, this home was designed differently by incorporating modern materials such as aluminum screens, steel, and glass in monochromatic tone and dark-colored wood.
We arranged these materials and designed details to create a feeling of lightness to contrast against the solid and void composition of the building, giving the home a modern appearance and creating interesting spaces in a timeless design to align with the lifestyle and preferences of the homeowners.
