Light is God

Introvert House

An intimate house that resembles a double envelope structure in terms of zoning and functionality is designed to combat the natural setting. The outer skin has well-designed punctures for ventilation. While the interstitial space creates the perfect barrier for indirect sunlight. The act of occupying the liminal space formed a closed courtyard occupied by a swimming pool for small family gatherings.

The modish volumes are continued indoors in the living room and dining room. These spaces share a double-height sky-lit court which garners grandeur. Having large openings fosters the idea of a colossal space. Furthermore, all the private spaces in the villa have a pool view: creating a visual and audial haptic experience for the dwellers.
