Assets
An exterior residential entryway precedent utilizing a cantilevered timber-lined canopy and vertical stone piers over a reflecting pool to create a dramatic threshold sequence.
- What we like about this project
- A low concrete bench appears to float across the water feature directly in front of the illuminated entry.

- Geometry
- Asymmetric single-story massing with a deep projecting entry canopy and large expanses of black metal-framed glazing over a reflecting pool.
- Facade system
- Large-format stone tile cladding combined with a structural steel canopy frame and aluminum curtain wall glazing.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame canopy projecting from concrete or masonry shear walls.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story residential scale; entry canopy extends about one story high above a low stone bench.
- Lighting
- Twilight illumination with warm uplighting casting wall-wash shadows on the stone cladding and recessed downlights in the wooden soffit.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, inviting, and serene evening mood created by balanced uplighting and timber tones against cool dusk skies.
- Environmental context
- Suburban or residential estate setting at dusk with calm water reflecting the structure.
- Spatial experience
- Approach crosses over a reflecting pool toward a sheltered, warmly lit wooden entry portal that compresses space before opening into the interior.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal massing of the canopy contrasted against vertical glass mullions and stacked stone joints.
