An exterior precedent featuring fluid, organic white overhangs paired with extensive glass facades, creating a seamless dialogue with a reflecting pool.
- What we like about this project
- A single sculpted tree rises from an isolated oval gravel island directly within the reflection pool.

- Geometry
- Fluid, organic curves define the white cantilevered roof and porch slab, wrapping around a rectilinear glass pavilion and an irregular reflecting pool.
- Facade system
- Full-height frameless or minimal-framing structural glass curtain wall behind slender steel posts.
- Structural guess
- Steel column and beam frame with flat slab concrete floor and roof plates.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story pavilion architecture with expansive horizontal proportions at human scale.
- Lighting
- Soft, diffused daylight reflecting off water and white surfaces, with low morning sun casting gentle shadows.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and contemplative, emphasized by the interplay of fluid white surfaces, glass transparency, and calm water.
- Environmental context
- Open landscape setting with reflecting water features, clear skies, and sparse trees.
- Spatial experience
- Movement flows fluidly beneath the deep curving overhang, bridging the indoor glazed lounge and the open reflecting pool.
- Composition rhythm
- Rhythmic placement of slender circular columns supporting the sweeping horizontal fascia.
