This project was initially conceptualized many years ago as a hypothetical design. It featured an open-plan living and dining area on the ground floor, along with a guest room and bathrooms. On the first floor, the layout included four master bedrooms and additional bathrooms. The design was based on the concept of interlocking cubic forms, which allowed natural light from the north to penetrate deep into the property, enhancing the interior spaces. Another key element was the strategic placement of the swimming pool adjacent to the building, positioned to provide privacy while reflecting water onto the glazed central wall, adding a dynamic visual effect.

Later, when I was employed at a firm, a client requested a similar design. I adapted the original concept to fit the specific dimensions of the client’s land and modified certain elements to meet their preferences and expectations. The new design also took into account local building regulations and site-specific constraints, ensuring that the final proposal was both practical and compliant. The final design maintained the core ideas of light integration and privacy but was tailored to suit the unique requirements of the new site, resulting in a custom solution that balanced functionality and aesthetics. Additionally, further refinements were made to enhance energy efficiency, optimizing the building’s relationship with its environment.
