About the
Project

The building is conceived as a composed architectural system rather than a singular object. Its interlocking cubic volumes articulate program, hierarchy, and privacy through massing rather than ornament.

The slight displacement of volumes is not a formal gesture but a spatial tool:
it organizes interior zones, creates differentiated facades, and mediates between public street frontage and private garden spaces.

The
Result

Material contrast is used strategically to express structural logic and spatial hierarchy. The darker, stone-clad base establishes grounding and permanence, while the lighter upper volume conveys levity and domestic refinement. This reading reinforces the perception of the upper living spaces as elevated, light-filled zones, separated from the more introverted functions below.

Openings are positioned with architectural discipline. Window size, depth, and alignment respond to internal use, orientation, and privacy requirements rather than symmetry. Deep reveals and integrated shading devices give the facade thickness, emphasizing the building as a solid, inhabitable mass rather than a thin envelope.

The relationship between building and landscape is deliberately controlled. Exterior spaces are treated as extensions of the architectural grid, with linear paths and restrained greenery reinforcing order and calm. The result is a coherent spatial continuum, where architecture, material, light, and exterior space operate as a unified system.

Overall, the project exemplifies an approach in which clarity replaces expressiveness, and architectural quality emerges from proportion, material discipline, and spatial precision rather than formal excess.
