Doa Residential Building

In a context where urban density makes it difficult to breathe and where borders are in possession and appropriation, "Doa House" attempts to attend as a quiet pause in the fast-paced flow of the city.

The volumes have been moved not for show, but based on need and necessity; Every subtraction and addition is a response to the light that must pass through and a facilitator for a look that touches the horizon through the glass.

This project, rather than representing a fixed idea, provides a flexible framework for creating different life styles; Situations that offer residents a fresh, multi-layered experience depending on the time of day, season, and function.

Shifting volumes is not only a formal gesture but also a way to define variations in light intensity, quality of vision, and boundaries of privacy.

Each retreat and projection alters the angle and intensity of light, redefines the airflow patterns, and modulates the visual interactions between interior and exterior spaces.

Balconies, as thresholds between inside and outside, are a place where wind, sound, and light pass through, and life flows at the edges. The dark grooves on Doa's figure, like hidden veins, create a peaceful image in contrast with the whiteness.

Doa is more than a pure settlement, it is a contemporary reinterpretation of concepts such as privacy, fenestration, and a multi-layered spatial experience in the context of the hectic and accelerated life of today.

The Doa project is organized into five main levels, each of which is a natural continuation of the overall design idea and a response to the functional needs of the residents.

From this core, or via an external staircase, one can reach the first floor, where the kitchen and living room are positioned as the heart of the house and extend to the second floor with a direct connection through the internal staircase.

This vertical connection, as well as being functional, creates a spatial quality that enhances the sense of dynamism and continuity in the whole residence.

The second floor, embracing a void at the heart of the project, contains a bedroom, a cozy living room, and a large master bedroom that combines light, views, and tranquility.

Finally, the highest level of the project is dedicated to the outdoor living and dining area, in front of which is a small pool. A space that completes the experience of stillness and relaxation at the highest point of the building.
