Exterior view of Bevyhouse 2021
A tropical modern residential precedent featuring stacked stucco volumes, stepped retaining timber seating, and a linear foreground pool framing mountain views.
- What we like about this project
- Integrated linear timber seating running along the retaining wall with pastel accent cushions creates a public-scale social zone within a private backyard.

- Geometry
- Asymmetrical stacked rectangular volumes step across the site, integrating open terraces, a sunken outdoor living platform, and a linear lap pool aligned with the central axis.
- Facade system
- Stucco over masonry/concrete with large sliding glass door openings and vertical black-framed metal casement windows.
- Structural guess
- Concrete and masonry bearing walls with flat concrete slab floors and cantilevered roof overhangs.
- Spatial scale
- A two-to-three-story residential estate layout with human-scale pool deck, steps, and built-in perimeter seating.
- Lighting
- Direct late-afternoon sunlight casting long shadows across the facade, accentuating the textural stucco finishes and framing water reflections.
- Atmosphere
- Serene, warm, and sun-drenched evening atmosphere blending natural greenery with refined earth-toned architecture.
- Environmental context
- Lush tropical landscape with mature palms and dense background mountains under a clear sky.
- Spatial experience
- The composition creates a terraced progression from the foreground pool up through lawn steps, recessed patio spaces, and elevated rooftop volumes overlooking mountain ranges.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal layering dominates through the pool edge, retaining wall seating, lawn terrace, and projecting rooflines, balanced by vertical black-framed window grids.
