About The White House
Architectural Marvel Meets Nature
In a lush landscape, the white house masterfully weaves geometric lines. Two floating, V-shaped volumes carve the land into intriguing segments. This bold design dances with perception, blending interior and exterior.
Vernacular Inspiration with a Twist
Drawing from vernacular architecture, the design employs staggered levels. Beneath the house, a cool outdoor area connects seamlessly with the garden.
A Refreshing Oasis
A pool stretches longitudinally, mirroring light and color onto the white volumes. It opens towards a tropical bathroom above.
Contrast and Openness: Inside the Abode
Inside, raw concrete offsets the pristine exterior. Warm wooden touches soften the ambiance. Upstairs, the design champions openness, extending the space’s length.
