The need for a well-ventilated and functional home in a hot and oppressive urban context, the project calls for careful consideration of the constraints to arrive at an optimized proposal.

The need for a well-ventilated and functional home in a hot and oppressive urban context, the project calls for careful consideration of the constraints to arrive at an optimized proposal.

The architect wants to bring to the client, a long with a functional home, an experience of space, light, and wind. The proposal consists of an open area – both horizontally and vertically – to make the best use of natural light and wind which are essential in a crowded tropical urban environment.

Stair spatial & the side.
The spatial beside the house.

The project embraces Le Corbusier’s design philosophy of a sequential experience of space: the distance between rooms is increased. Throughout the stair path, the tighter spaces are followed by airier spaces and the opposite. Additionally, ceiling heights vary according to predominant activities: standing, sitting, and lying. They create exciting disruptions in the journey around the house.

The stair axes, which are distributed flexibly to better connect different spaces, become voids that express openness.
