T house

The plot is situated on a steep slope from north to south and bounded by a street on the north. A pedestrian walkway with steps lies to the east. From the street - level, you can absorb the panoramic cityscape view.  

The core design philosophy is that common areas are at street level, embracing the urban panorama and extent below in an amusement "retreat" with a resting place, game room, extensive terrace, infinity pool, and a mediterranean garden. The first two grounded levels exhibit a brutalist charm by exposed concrete, resembling grandiose rocky formations emerging from the earth.

On the 3rd level, the private spaces are adorned with warm wooden cladding that seems suspended above the city. Brutalist volumes widen in the east-west alignment to hold the kitchen/dining area and the parking shelter. So, symbolically, the common areas are grounded, and the private ones are deterritorialized.                 

T-house reveals a T-shaped footprint that opens towards the street on the north while extending and embracing the vista to the south.
