Specification

Horizontal Slab Residences with Integrated Pool Terraces

Featuring stacked horizontal concrete slabs, vertical timber cladding, and expansive floor-to-ceiling curtain walls, this contemporary residence establishes a dynamic volumetric composition anchored by solid masonry piers. Deep cantilevered roof overhangs shelter glazed interior living spaces that flow seamlessly onto a stone-paved terrace and linear lap pool framed by mature woodland.

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.
