Behind the Design

Unique Properties: The primary objective is to establish a seamless connection between each program of the house by creating a split-level space throughout, from the initial encounter to the heart of the house. This design strategy also conveys a sense of spaciousness and unobstructed open space between the poolside terrace, living dining room, and covered multi-function terrace. The main hub of the house is an open space that serves as the living dining room, with an opening on both sides that overlook the outdoors. This placement allows natural air and light to freely circulate throughout the space. The planter box above the entrance portal provides a soft visual buffer from across the neighborhood to the living dining room, while also offering a garden view from within.
Dimensions & Packaging: Whole Area: 20,5 m x 10 m
Building Area: 15,4 m X 10 m X 12,7 M

Production Technology: The building was finished with a special texture paint in three tones of grey, which creates an illusion of natural concrete finishing for the house. In certain areas, natural wooden planks are juxtaposed with a green composition, all of which work together to create a natural, air-ventilated, and sunlit living space.
Inspiration: The Theater House is inspired by the dynamic flow of a theater, with its split-level design representing tiered seating. The central open living space acts as the "stage," seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor areas. Large openings allow light and air to circulate, while natural materials like grey textured paint and wood evoke minimalist theater sets. Upstairs, private rooms open to a terraced roof garden, merging performance, nature, and living into one cohesive experience.
