Elevated modern white villa with large glass openings and sunset water
A contemporary coastal residence precedent showcasing a floating white geometric volume on pilotis that balances private bedroom punched windows with open-corner living spaces.
- What we like about this project
- The seamless corner opening on the terrace creates an almost floating roof effect over the outdoor seating area.

- Geometry
- A clean horizontal rectangular volume elevated on pilotis above dense coastal vegetation, featuring a large cantilevered corner opening.
- Facade system
- Smooth white stucco finish with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass panels and dark-framed punched casement windows.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with pilotis supporting an elevated cantilevered floor slab.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story residential scale, elevated above grade with a generous single-story living volume on top.
- Lighting
- Warm ambient twilight with a dramatic cloudy sunset sky casting soft orange light across the white facade and reflecting on the water.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and dramatic, highlighted by the tranquil interplay between the stark white massing and warm sunset coastal environment.
- Environmental context
- Coastal tropical setting surrounded by dense low-lying brush and calm open water with distant islands.
- Spatial experience
- The elevated main floor opens completely to an expansive outdoor terrace, framing panoramic water views while maintaining privacy via narrow punched windows on the secondary elevation.
- Composition rhythm
- A steady rhythm of vertical punched windows contrasts with the wide horizontal expanse of the glazed living terrace.
