New Orange House
New Orange House is a single-family residence designed by Eklekt as a fully integrated architectural and interior project. The studio was commissioned to develop both the building’s massing and its interior spaces, enabling a consistent design language to be carried through all scales—from the external form to spatial organization, materiality, and detail.
With a total usable floor area of 250 square meters, the house was conceived as a contemporary private home responding to the needs of modern living. The design emphasizes a strong relationship between architecture, interior space, and landscape, combining a clear functional layout with spatial fluidity and seamless transitions between zones.
The building massing is defined by a strong horizontal composition based on the contrast between solidity and lightness. A stone-clad ground floor forms a robust base that anchors the house within its context, while large glazed openings and recessed volumes open the interior toward the garden, blurring the boundary between inside and outside.
The upper floor appears as a unified, dark horizontal band cantilevered over the base, ensuring privacy for the night zone and reinforcing the linear character of the form. A wide roof overhang finished in natural wood completes the composition and gives the building calm, residential proportions. Integrated façade lighting accentuates the texture of the stone and enhances the sculptural quality of the architecture after dark.
Inside, the ground floor circulation was designed as an open spatial sequence rather than a traditional corridor. Movement through the house becomes a spatial experience shaped by proportion, light, and material transitions. A sculptural wooden staircase acts as the central organizing element, subtly illuminated to guide movement between levels. Built-in furniture and functional walls define circulation while maintaining visual continuity, and accents of greenery soften the interior geometry and strengthen the connection to nature.
Secondary spaces were treated as integral parts of the overall architectural narrative. The guest toilet was conceived as a compact yet expressive interior, defined by a graphic composition of circular mirrors, layered lighting, and contrasting mineral surfaces, dark fittings, and warm wood textures.
The private master suite functions as a self-contained retreat within the house. The bedroom, walk-in wardrobe, and bathroom form a fluid sequence of spaces connected through filtered views, reflections, and a consistent material palette. The bedroom emphasizes calm and intimacy through soft textiles, upholstered wall surfaces, and subtle linear lighting. The master bathroom was designed as a spa-like space, with a freestanding bathtub positioned next to large glazing that introduces natural light and views of greenery. Transparent partitions maintain visual continuity while clearly defining individual functions.
New Orange House is a project in which architecture and interior design form a cohesive whole, shaped by proportion, material honesty, and spatial clarity rather than expressive gestures.
