Work
A striking tropical modern residence precedent demonstrating dramatic structural cantilevers over a glowing pool edge and continuous glass facade.
- What we like about this project
- The pool's glowing acrylic or glass front edge mirrors the upper ribbon window band.

- Geometry
- Symmetrical two-story rectilinear pavilion with a heavily cantilevered upper floor projecting over the ground-level terrace and pool deck.
- Facade system
- Floor-to-ceiling glazed curtain wall recessed within an in-situ concrete frame.
- Structural guess
- Heavy cantilevered reinforced concrete slab and beam system.
- Spatial scale
- Large-scale luxury residence with double-height presence across wide horizontal spans.
- Lighting
- Warm interior recessed ceiling lighting and under-pool illumination contrast sharply against the dark night sky.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and dramatic, underscored by the sharp contrast of warm interior glow against cool night air and water.
- Environmental context
- Tropical resort setting framed by mature palm trees and manicured lawn under a twilight sky.
- Spatial experience
- A dramatic indoor-outdoor threshold where the illuminated pool edge acts as a reflective foreground to the expansive glass living spaces.
- Composition rhythm
- Strong horizontal stratification of ground plane, pool, cantilevered volume, and flat roofline framed vertically by palm silhouettes.
