The house features double-height spaces and a green courtyard at its side, adding openness and natural light. A floating staircase acts as a centerpiece, combining beauty and practicality.

“Sandal Villa” designed to accommodate a single family involves a sophisticated interplay of spatial organization, materiality, and contextual sensitivity. The architectural concept revolves around creating a tropical, contemporary home with a resort like ambiance, achieved through a minimalist and timeless design language. This residence emphasizes openness and fluidity, with a focus on natural light, cross ventilation and seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, all while respecting the unique demands of its tropical elements.
the zoning of the house is defined between the public and private space at both levels. The center of the layout is a spacious, open-plan living area, characterized by a two-story height ceiling that connects both of the zones. This double-height living space serves as the focal point of the residence, emphasizing vertical connectivity between levels and allowing natural light to enter the living area. Expansive glazed openings are used to blend the boundaries between the interior and the exterior, extending the living space onto both of the terraces.
Natural materials such as brick and wood are used for the façade as the main theme for the resort-like ambiance. Louvered screens are also used for the façade as an integral part of the design, giving passive cooling and creating a comfortable indoor temperature. This combination and a restrained color palette create an elegant and timeless design while preserving the tropical ambiance of the overall residence. The outdoor spaces are designed as an extension of the interior, creating a continuous experience of retreat and relaxation.
