The Obsidian Residence
The idea
A quiet study in shadow, shelter and the spaces between.
Material palette
Exposed concrete / Dark stone / Natural timber
An outwardly reserved residence opens inward to a sequence of planted courts. Deep overhangs temper the tropical sun, while a warm timber threshold marks the transition from street to sanctuary.
The proposal brings concrete, dark stone and natural wood into a restrained dialogue. Light travels across the surfaces throughout the day, lending movement to an otherwise still composition.
