About The Fifth Element Residenza

Id-dar tikkonsisti minn ħames rettangoli paralleli. Il-blokki tal-garage u s-spa huma spustati mill-volum tal-għixien. Dawn jipproteġuh minn għajnejn indiskreti u jiffurmaw qasam kompatt għaż-żona tal-entrata u ż-żoni rekreattivi rispettivament. Is-spa jiddendel fuq konsoll 'il fuq mill-art u huwa miftuħ lejn in-natura permezz tal-glazing tiegħu. Il-faċċati li jħarsu lejn il-foresta għandhom twieqi bid-daqs sħiħ li jimlaw l-ispazji tal-għixien bid-dawl u l-arja. L-installazzjoni tal-ilma tat-terrazz toħloq mikroklima fis-sħana tas-sajf. It-torri b'żewġ sulari tas-sala tal-għixien jifforma assi vertikali li jissubordina l-elementi kollha tal-bini u l-pajsaġġ.
