The intention for the design is to explore varying degrees of transparency, reflection and opacity for a family house within the context of an ocean-front site. The client is a growing family of three (3) with a love for natural elements and the outdoors. Large sections of floor-to-ceiling glass windows are paired with blank sections of natural stone walls and timber panelled fins. The house is designed on three (3) levels with its mid-section (1st floor) as the main family space, while public and private spaces are on ground and second floors respectively. Connecting the house to the ocean view was a primary objective, with bedrooms and study rooms raised above ground level, as well as the open terraces. Additionally, green courtyards designed within the site open to the open-plan living spaces of the living, dining and kitchen areas. Double volumes and roof skylights are introduced to maximise the quality of natural sunlight internally.
