About P29 House
Seamless Integration of Indoor and Outdoor Spaces
This architectural project masterfully links interior and exterior areas, encircling each façade with gardens or terraces. Consequently, it creates a fluid transition between the home and its natural surroundings.
A Rich Palette of Materials
Concrete, playing both a structural and aesthetic role, anchors the design. Alongside glass, wood, and stone, it forms a diverse palette. Furthermore, carefully chosen furniture accentuates the unique elements of each space, adding to the design’s visual impact.
Optimized Layout for Public and Private Areas
Public areas are strategically positioned at the rear to maximize views, while private spaces are placed at the front to soak up sunlight. This layout not only enhances functionality but also ensures a pleasant living environment.
Additionally, a central hallway, bordered by a terrace and reflecting pond, connects these areas. An innovative double-sided bookshelf serves as a versatile link between the study and garden. Moreover, a sliding lattice along the visual axis offers the flexibility to alter space configurations, playing with privacy as needed.
In terms of landscaping, it serves as a critical link to the site, doubling as a compositional and ornamental feature. It not only connects the building to its environment but also enhances its aesthetic appeal.
Finally, the design incorporates a distinctive terrace that spans both floors, connected by floor-to-ceiling windows. This design choice not only ensures a continuous outdoor space but also promotes excellent natural ventilation, elevating the overall living experience.
