Set on a compact plot, this striking white house features dynamic geometric lines that stand out against a lush green backdrop. Two floating “V” shaped forms segment the site into distinct areas, offering a unique interplay of scale, placement, and indoor-outdoor interaction.
The design draws inspiration from local architectural traditions, where elements are arranged across multiple levels. The space beneath the house serves as a cool outdoor living area seamlessly connected to the surrounding garden.
A vertical swimming pool extends along one side of the property, adding a tranquil feature that reflects the light and colors of the white structure above. This pool also opens up to the tropical bathroom situated upstairs.
Inside, exposed concrete contrasts sharply with the white exterior, while warm wooden accents soften the interior atmosphere. The upper floor is designed to emphasize openness, creating a spacious and airy environment throughout the length of the home.
