SET ON A SLOPED SITE, THIS RESIDENCE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE TERRAIN TO INCORPORATE A SEMI-BASEMENT PARKING AREA FOR FOUR VEHICLES. THE HOUSE IS ELEVATED 1.5 METERS ABOVE THE HIGHEST STREET LEVEL. THE FACADE IS SEMI-OPEN TOWARD THE STREET, USING NATURAL MATERIALS SUCH AS CONCRETE AND WOOD. INSIDE, A DOUBLE-HEIGHT SOCIAL AREA EXPANDS THE VISUAL CONNECTION BETWEEN SPACES, ALLOWING THE HEIGHT TO CONTINUE TOWARD THE POOL AREA. THE RESULT IS A SERIES OF SPACES THAT FEEL OPEN, SPACIOUS, AND SERENE, WHILE STILL CARRYING A STRONG ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER.
