HA Residence
An interior living space precedent highlighting exposed timber gabled ceilings, built-in stone fireplaces, and seamless transitions to an outdoor terrace.

- Geometry
- Symmetrical living space defined by an exposed timber gabled ceiling and centered floor-to-ceiling glass wall framing an exterior terrace.
- Facade system
- Large frameless or minimal-frame glass sliding panels opening fully to the exterior terrace.
- Structural guess
- Exposed timber roof truss system supported by perimeter masonry and stone walls.
- Spatial scale
- Expansive single-story living volume with standard residential ceiling height rising to a central timber ridge.
- Lighting
- Warm artificial interior lighting balanced by soft daylight entering from clerestory bands and the open terrace exterior.
- Atmosphere
- Cozy and sheltered interior contrasting against the open, luminous terrace and coastal view beyond.
- Environmental context
- Upper-floor living space opening onto a terrace overlooking neighboring residential rooftops and water.
- Spatial experience
- A warm, enclosed living zone that extends visually through large sliding glass panels out to an open-air terrace with distant views.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating timber rafters create a rhythmic ceiling canopy that converges on the central axis and terrace view.
