01 / THE QUESTION

The challenge.

A hot-climate residence needs a coherent strategy for privacy, solar exposure and the transition from exterior to interior.

02 / THE IDEA

The response.

The mass is expressed as a series of solid volumes that shade large glazed openings. A protected landscape occupies the threshold and moderates the experience of arrival.

MATERIAL / LIGHT / DETAIL

Less, but
considered.

The architectural expression is based on weight and subtraction: openings are carved, rather than simply applied to an elevation.
