Luna
A striking nocturnal residential precedent by Joe Adsett Architects demonstrating how curved white concrete cantilevers and warm interior lighting interact with a foreground pool and sunken fire pit.
- What we like about this project
- A circular sunken fire pit integrated directly into the swimming pool edge.

- Geometry
- Asymmetrical two-story volume featuring prominent curved cantilevered overhangs on the upper floor, deep recessed floor-to-ceiling glazing, and an open ground-plane connecting interior living spaces to a pool terrace.
- Facade system
- Curved reinforced concrete eyebrow cantilevers with full-height sliding glass walls and recessed warm timber or stone interior wall panels.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with cantilevered floor and roof slabs and steel-framed floor-to-ceiling glazing.
- Spatial scale
- Large luxury residential scale; wide two-story frontage spanning a generous pool terrace.
- Lighting
- Warm artificial interior downlighting and cove lighting combined with the cool glow of pool water and an integrated fire pit contrast with the dark night sky.
- Atmosphere
- Serene, dramatic, and luxurious under a nocturnal sky with warm glows counterbalancing cool water and dark foliage.
- Environmental context
- Tropical or subtropical nocturnal setting surrounded by dense dark foliage and palm trees under a clear night sky.
- Spatial experience
- A dramatic nocturnal composition where interior illumination transforms the open-plan residence into luminous spatial layers framed by heavy curved concrete edges.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal stratification created by floor slabs, cantilevered rooflines, and the linear edge of the pool, balanced by vertical glazing divisions.
