Key features

  • Linear Massing: Strong horizontal white bands defining the floor plates and roofline.
  • In-Pool Lounging: "Baja shelf" feature with submerged white sun loungers.
  • Textural Contrast: Dark grey brick cladding on the ground floor offsetting the white stucco.
  • Glass Curtains: Floor-to-ceiling sliding wall systems spanning the entire rear elevation.
  • Rooftop Greenery: Built-in planters lining the upper balcony to soften the geometric edges.
  • Circular Deck: Sculptural round wooden platform providing a distinct seating zone.
  • Reflective Glazing: High-performance glass reflecting the pool and sky.

Architectural approach

  • Horizontal Stratification: emphasizing width to visually ground the structure into the landscape.
  • Transparency: Dissolving the visual barrier between the conditioned interior and the exterior.
  • Modernist Rigor: Adhering to a strict rectilinear grid broken only by the organic landscape.
  • Material Duality: Juxtaposing heavy, dark masonry bases with light, floating upper volumes.
  • Water Integration: Treating the pool as the primary visual foreground for the architecture.
