Description

The essence of this project is the infusion of opposite elements in a uniform mass which has been achieved by combining a dominant white frame, a cube with iron oxide texture, and a glass wall, creating a dynamic & delightful interior with a wide view of the garden.The south facade is where indoor & outdoor spaces are intertwined as the line between the two has been weakened via terraces that set back or extend from it. This allows for the continuation of spaces & their qualities, inside & out. Additionally, the user can continuously experience a dynamic relationship between the indoor spaces & the garden due to the combination of transparent & opaque modular cubic spaces.The design s focal point is an iron oxide cube which facilitates the vertical & horizontal access between different parts of the villa by a glass bridge and a staircase. The cube s material represents the significant effects of the environment on architecture through time with its contrasting texture and color.
