At the onset of this project, when we asked the clients what type of house they were interested in, they replied “a simple house, like a lifeguard tower”.

We designed a one story house spread across a corner lot. Two layers of exposed concrete comprise floor and ceiling with white stucco walls enveloping the house. Sliding the upper plane forward allowed for light penetration at the core of the house as well as air circulation. Between the two layers lies a rectangular tube, separating while connecting inside form out. This unique space houses an entry corridor and art studio.

The house is the site itself. The place already has its own geometry created by a gradient rising some three metres. It has an ideal path; it is raised above the ground and visually seems to tower above the sea simply by following the perimeter of the site. This zigzagging forms the grammar of the project.
