VATRAA
2024
An interior residential precedent showcasing how exposed timber framing and generous courtyard glazing merge indoor dining with outdoor enclosure.
- What we like about this project
- The glazed ceiling pocket allows daylight to wash directly down the interior timber door frame and onto the floor.

- Geometry
- Orthogonal room volume featuring a prominent dining table parallel to a large glazed opening looking out to a brick courtyard wall.
- Facade system
- Floor-to-ceiling timber-framed glass door and window assembly.
- Structural guess
- Exposed timber roof joists resting on perimeter masonry or concealed steel headers.
- Spatial scale
- Intimate human scale; standard residential ceiling height framed by substantial timber beams.
- Lighting
- Soft, diffused daylight enters from overhead skylight pockets and large vertical glass panes, supplemented by suspended warm pendant lamps.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, calm, and grounded, emphasizing natural materials and filtered daylight.
- Environmental context
- Ground floor interior opening onto an enclosed urban courtyard with exposed brick walls and climbing vines.
- Spatial experience
- The interior flows visually outward toward the exterior brick surface, drawing ambient light deep into the dining area through overhead timber-framed glazing.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating timber ceiling joists establish a rhythmic overhead pattern that aligns with the vertical window mullions.
