DESIGNED FOR A YOUNG COUPLE, THIS RESIDENCE DRAWS FROM THE PRINCIPLES OF TRADITIONAL HOMES, USING A CENTRAL PATIO AS THE STARTING POINT FOR ITS LAYOUT. AROUND IT, THE SPACES ARE ORGANIZED TO RECEIVE NATURAL LIGHT AND VENTILATION. THE HOUSE WAS RAISED ABOVE THE NATURAL GROUND LEVEL TO CREATE A SEMI-BASEMENT PARKING AREA, ALLOWING THE FACADE TO APPEAR AS IF IT WERE FLOATING OVER A SOLID BASE. ON THE UPPER FLOOR, A CANTILEVERED VOLUME HOUSES TWO BEDROOMS, GIVING THE HOME A CLEAN, CONTEMPORARY EXPRESSION.
