The architecture of this house is defined by three large rectangular boxes that appear to have slid past one another, creating a dynamic and contemporary design. This shifting geometry allows for the formation of expansive balconies on each level, all oriented to capture the surrounding views. The intentional displacement of the volumes not only creates outdoor living spaces but also introduces a sense of movement and interaction between the different levels of the house. Large floor-to-ceiling windows further emphasize the openness, seamlessly blending the interior with the exterior and maximizing the connection to the landscape.
Despite the house’s modern and sleek architecture, the exterior is finished in vernacular brick, grounding the design in local traditions and materials. The warm, textured brick contrasts with the sharp lines and modern form, creating a harmonious balance between old and new. The use of this material provides a tactile warmth that softens the contemporary design while paying homage to the regional building techniques. This juxtaposition between the vernacular and the modern results in a home that feels both innovative and rooted in its cultural context, offering the best of both architectural worlds.
