MANSION NO.26
This luxurious mansion features multiple apartment floors, all connected by a central courtyard that promotes both privacy and community.
A reserved house of muted elements. The client’s brief was for a practical home to live in and maintain. A prominent element of the house is the great big eaves. To keep out the tropical elements, the roofs are distilled into razor-thin cantilevers that stretch out to the horizon. They perform as moderators, physically reducing the harshness of the tropical weather and visually modestly blend-ing into the neighborhood. Although the form was not lifted directly from the surrounding context, it was considered very carefully.
Floors
GROUND FLOOR – TYPICAL FLOOR
The house draws elements from traditional tropical homes. It is simple, somewhat muted, and interconnected with nature and the neighbor-hood.
The main exterior feature, the horizontal roofs, is refined and practical, reinvented into a simplified soffit that expands the canvas of what the traditional tropical eaves can do. The house delivers on its promise of low maintenance and maximizes the living experience packed into the site. Through landscaping and cleverly crafted views, the spatial experience is expanded far beyond the boundaries of the house.
