The project was designed to overcome unstable soil conditions, a sloped site, a high water table, occasional flooding ,a lack of local building skills, a tight budget and time constraints. Despite its relatively small size, the uninterrupted layout facilitates a laid-back lifestyle with its generous covered veranda, indoor living- dining- kitchen spaces which invites year round social interaction. The splendid surrounding views are maximized with vertical and horizontal glazing , ensuring a sense of connection with nature. The architectural language makes references to the traditional vernacular forms and materials, whilst raw fiber cement clapboard cladding ensures low maintenance.
