Project 5

- Symmetrical central composition featuring a dramatic sweeping exterior double-curved staircase rising to a porch supported by slender classical columns, framed by a multi-story veranda with operable louvered shutters.
- Facade system
- Stucco-clad timber-framed wall with operable louvered shutters and glazed wooden french doors.
- Structural guess
- Timber frame construction with masonry or concrete ground-level foundations and stair support.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story residential scale, with a grand monumental front stair leading to an elevated main living level.
- Lighting
- Bright daylight with soft, overcast overhead illumination casting gentle shadows within the deep porch overhangs.
- Atmosphere
- Inviting, breezy, and bright with an interplay of crisp white surfaces, warm timber accents, and shaded thresholds.
- Environmental context
- Coastal residential setting with lush tropical landscaping, paving stone courtyard, and mature perimeter planting.
- Spatial experience
- The approach moves from a paved courtyard up the monumental central stair into a shaded, deeply recessed porch flanked by warm wood doors and greenery.
- Composition rhythm
- Symmetrical vertical arrangement with repeating window bays, louvered shutter panels, and a central focal axis on the stair.
