Work
A striking tropical modern residence precedent demonstrating dramatic structural cantilevers, glowing perimeter lighting, and seamless integration between glazed living spaces and a reflective pool.
- What we like about this project
- The upper volume cantilever creates a deep shadow line that protects the upper glazing while framing the interior ceiling plane.

- Geometry
- Symmetrical two-story rectangular volume featuring a prominent cantilevered upper floor that extends significantly over the ground floor terrace, framed by deep concrete slab edges.
- Facade system
- Full-height glazed curtain wall system set within exposed concrete structural floor and roof slabs.
- Structural guess
- Cast-in-place concrete frame with long-span cantilevered floor slabs.
- Spatial scale
- Large two-story residential scale with expansive horizontal spans opening directly onto a wide pool deck.
- Lighting
- Warm interior recessed lighting and perimeter cove lights wash the ceilings and floor plates, complemented by the intense turquoise glow of the infinity pool.
- Atmosphere
- Sophisticated, tranquil, and cinematic evening mood created by warm interior luminescence against cool tropical darks.
- Environmental context
- Tropical coastal setting surrounded by mature palm trees and manicured lawn under a dark evening sky.
- Spatial experience
- The composition creates a theatrical stage-like indoor-outdoor transition, where the brightly lit interior spaces and glowing pool edge contrast dramatically against the dark tropical night.
- Composition rhythm
- Strictly horizontal layering defined by slab edges, floor-to-ceiling glass mullions, and the linear water plane of the pool.
