The challenge of this project was to build a new residence with a strong modern look and personality but at the same time perfectly integrated in the existing neighborhood.
I came up with the idea of having a minimalistic façade where the entrance door, windows and garage door are totally hidden by a wood louver so the only two materials and elements you see from the street is the stucco of the building structure and the wood of the façade.
This way, the home is shielded by the noise of street and the traffic and keep his privacy and orientation to the opposite side.
The second floor is a volume intentionally shifted to the back of the property to keep the front lower and in line with the other neighbor constructions.
The backyard is all about glass and light, with a huge panoramic door, fully retractable that help integrate the indoor with the outdoor in a seamless way.
The outdoor movie theater is open on two sides and follow the same spirit of outdoor lifestyle. A barbecue is also present here allowing to fully entertain guests in the most emblematic area of the residence.
