GP House

YEAR
2011
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
GP House has all the basic requirements of a
residencial home, foyer, living room, dining area, kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 3 ½
bathrooms, studio, laundry, three-car garage, maid’s
quarter, spread over two floors and connected by vertical staircase to break up
the home’s dominant horizontal construction. This juxtaposition is even more striking
with the use of a local stone as a finish on the cube stairs against its
concrete structure.
The master bedroom on the top floor and the
common areas (lounge, dining and living rooms) make up the rear facade. Covered
almost entirely in glass, light is drawn into the concrete structure of these
spaces to ensure the continuity of the rooms with the beautiful view of the
golf course. This design element eliminates any visual barrier between the two
spaces, external and internal, with a reflection pool to outline the exterior
of the home.
The double-height of the living quarters gives
a spacious feel to the area where right above stands the television room. This
space on the top floor features a wooden lattice to provide privacy while allow
for the entry of natural light into the television room.
The use of natural materials is predominant
throughout the house such as marble and rock finish for the floors and some
walls. Concrete was also used on some walls while others have been painted with
nuetral tones. To counterbalance this feature, walnut wood was used in the
trimmings and doors to give a warmth to the space. Metal details in the
interiors such as cross-shaped columns and railings were specifically designed
for this project.
The lighting of the home not only serves its
basic function to illuminate but also to aesthetically highlights objects,
vegetation and exteriors of the house. Skylight domes were opened up in areas
of the home to take advantage of natural lighting, which together with
materials used in the interiors, creates a unique play of light and shadows.
GP House is an entirely contemporary space
designed under linear elements.
