Roha
An exterior courtyard view of a tropical modern residence, illustrating the integration of cascading planting, raw concrete, and timber ceilings to blur indoor and outdoor boundaries.
- What we like about this project
- Heavy board-formed concrete overhangs appear weightless thanks to thick cascades of vegetation softening the edges.

- Geometry
- U-shaped massing wrapping around a central courtyard and lawn, featuring layered horizontal balconies and deep overhangs.
- Facade system
- Exposed board-formed and smooth concrete slabs combined with full-height glazed sliding doors and operable louvers.
- Structural guess
- Concrete column and slab frame with cantilevered upper terraces.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story residential scale with expansive open-plan ground floor outdoor living and upper-level balconies.
- Lighting
- Bright direct sunlight casting sharp shadows across the lawn and deep overhangs, creating high contrast between sunlit grass and shaded interior volumes.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, luminous, and lush, blending heavy brutalist materials with soft vegetation.
- Environmental context
- Suburban or tropical residential setting featuring abundant integrated planting and a private lawn courtyard.
- Spatial experience
- Flows fluidly from covered outdoor living areas into an open-air central lawn surrounded by multi-level glazed facades.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal layering of floor slabs, timber-lined ceilings, and planter boxes creating alternating bands of concrete, glass, and green.
