Prototype 2
The 5000 square feet second home fit onto a heavily contoured site, is placed in a manner that the built structure is completely hidden from view upon arrival through the driveway.The structure thus being overtly opportunistic of the existing elevational drop of 9 meters.
A staircase housed within a glass cage leads the visitor into the public domain of the residence, that is pierced by both a cantilevered lap pool, as well as a large open to sky courtyard that cuts through the entire house. Flanking the very end of the public space lies the barbecue area.
