Description by Thirdstone

Facing north toward the splendour of a mature ravine park, the compact but efficient house was designed entirely to meet the clients

needs while responding to site conditions that visually extend beyond the property edges to the borrowed landscape.

From the street, the landscape and series of architectural garden walls greet visitors to an implied enclosure, acting as both a territorial

passage between public and private and by symbolizing arrival to the homeowners domain. The cast concrete is harmonious with the

tones of the buildings exterior and asserts its worth within the landscape.

The front exterior is regulated mainly by a doub le-height central volume accented by an extruded aperture extending over the front

entrance. The remaining f ront facade is flanked on the west side by placate outdoor terraces on the main and upper levels. The

convenient main level terrace, accessed via the Living Room, is sheltered by the extended roof line above, w hile the upper terrace a

cubed frame is open to the sky. The terrace is further animated by sliding ipe screens that provide privacy and solar shade. East of the

main entry is a recessed tandem garage, deliberately subdued to lessen the impact of a front facing garage.

Overall, the exterior finishing is a deftly combined palette of glass, metal, luxuriant ipe and predominately tepid charcoal walls.

The double-height interior at the front entry compresses to an average height at the transition to the open main living space, again as a

gesture to decipher communal from private. The combined Kitchen, Dining and Living Room are a bright and airy space with an engaging

view of the tree-lined rear garden. The extensive glass walls frame the garden and allow the suns rays to penetrate the entire space with

its warmth and play of daylight. Subtle outdoor lighting provides a visual connection in the evening and to ensure the peripheral senses

remain connected with the motioning outdoor amenities.

A sculptu ral steel and open-riser staircase leads to the second floo r level where youll find a private wing consisting of bedrooms,

washrooms, a cosy sanctum, a roof terrace and an exercise room with views through the double-height entrance to the undulating tree

tops of the ravine beyond.
