An airy, 5-meter-high living room occupies the ground floor, which features a leaf pattern decorating the floor and floor-to-ceiling rotating windows that open out onto the lush, tropical backyard garden. While a mezzanine overlooking the living room hosts a study and a guest room, above that, a large dining and kitchen area covers the entire first floor, offering ample space for gatherings and socialising. The bedrooms on the second floor above are the house’s most private area, their exteriors covered with carved wooden panels bearing the same leaf motif as the living room floor. Minimally furnished and with generous openings to the neighbourhood and an adjacent park, the house has been rendered mostly in concrete —a material that perfectly matches the shady interior and adds to the project’s contemporary character.
