Specification

Horizontal Concrete Slab Residences with Pool Terraces

Stacking cantilevered concrete slabs and vertical timber slat rainscreens frame expansive floor-to-ceiling glazed facades that step toward an outdoor pool terrace. The interlocking rectilinear volumes create deep overhangs for shaded outdoor lounging, seamlessly bridging open-plan interior living spaces with the surrounding woodland landscape under bright natural light.

What we like about this project
The central transparent bridging element visually separates the two solid wings while maintaining a continuous roofline.

Geometry
Asymmetrical two-story rectilinear volumes featuring prominent horizontal roof overhangs, cantilevered terraces, and a central glazed link connecting the wings.
Facade system
Combination of floor-to-ceiling glass curtain walls, vertical timber slat cladding, and textured light-grey masonry blocks.
Structural guess
Steel frame and reinforced concrete slabs enabling wide cantilevers and large structural spans.
Spatial scale
Two-story residential scale featuring wide horizontal expanses and human-scaled outdoor lounge settings.
Lighting
Bright midday sun casting crisp shadows under deep horizontal overhangs, with clear blue sky.
Atmosphere
Calm, sunlit luxury living environment nestled against a natural treeline.
Environmental context
Suburban or rural woodland edge featuring mature pine trees and an open manicured lawn.
Spatial experience
The architecture steps outward toward the landscape, merging indoor living areas with expansive raised patios, terraces, and a linear lap pool.
Composition rhythm
Balanced asymmetry established by interlocking rectilinear volumes and alternating vertical glass panels with horizontal slab lines.
