Project Drawing
This residence is essentially a contemporary form with several curved shells as a roof located in a dense urban neighbourhood. The western side is treated with several parallel vertical surfaces so that the evening heat is obstructed. but there is light coming in. In between each of these vertical surfaces there are slit windows which allow indirect light that washes on the inside of these walls.
The centre of the house has a curved glass stair case lit by a skylight above that provides a dim glow of natural light thought out the house. With a roof on top of this, when the windows of this skylight are opened there is a draft of air created that sucks the hot air out. Making this house quiet pleasant, cool and well lit, at any time of the day.
