Volumes + Weights

An exploration of volumes and weights is evident in this design. A spacious concrete box appears to effortlessly hover above a delicate plinth, while an additional white volume extends outward, serving as a garage.

The interplay of contrasting materials enhances the overall experience, with the addition of glamorous wood shutters that elegantly open and close, allowing the play of light within the space.

The incorporation of breeze blocks serves a dual purpose: not only do they alleviate the visual weight of the substantial walls, but they also promote natural ventilation, contributing to a comfortable and airy atmosphere.
