Due to the tropical weather, being outside, in a shaded area was a must. So we designed the house to protect its users from direct sunlight in the lounge and seating areas, and allowed for natural sun incidence on the transitional and pool areas.

The design’s main feature are its mushroom-shaped columns, which structure the entire second floor and roof slabs.

These columns were engineered to minimize the necessity for secondary columns, and open the space for more usage.

On the upper levels, the concrete slabs morph into beautiful curved planters, once again bringing nature to all areas of the house.
