House of A

The project is a contemporary residential dwelling designed to balance openness, privacy, and climatic responsiveness. The architectural composition is organized around a central landscaped courtyard that enhances natural ventilation, daylight penetration, and visual connectivity across spaces.

The massing is defined by clean horizontal planes and rectilinear volumes, creating a clear dialogue between solid and void. Vertical timber fins form a secondary façade layer, functioning as sun-shading and privacy screens while softening the building’s modern expression. This passive design strategy reduces heat gain and contributes to a comfortable internal environment.

Internally, the spatial layout emphasizes openness and fluidity. A double-height living space acts as the central communal area, allowing natural light to filter deep into the interior while visually connecting the upper and lower levels. Full-height glazing strengthens the relationship between indoor spaces and the courtyard, blurring the boundary between inside and outside. A restrained material palette of timber, stone flooring, and neutral finishes reinforces a calm and cohesive atmosphere.

The roof terrace extends the living experience outdoors, offering open views of the surrounding urban context. Overall, the design integrates functional planning, environmental strategies, and contemporary aesthetics to create a refined and livable residential environment.
