The house underwent substantial alterations, emphasizing spatial clarity by removing superficial mass, creating two stereotomic blocks connected by a transitional space. The building is a negotiation between; Solid vs Void, Open vs. Closed and Introverted vs. Extroverted. Thus, the idea of carving into mass was explored, creating very specific openings where light enter the building. A floating timber bridge and floor unify the space between the two stereotomic blocks, while a 5.2m glass opening extend the transitional area to the outdoor pool. Materials used for construction were selected to maintain a minimalist yet textured and warm aesthetic.
