The design process for both the residence and its surrounding site posed various challenges due to the sloping nature of the plot, the incorporation of different functional facilities desired by the owner, and the aim to create a harmonious relationship with the environment. To tackle these challenges, the plot was divided into four distinct zones, each serving a specific purpose. The zone situated at the highest altitude was designated for entertainment, taking advantage of the captivating views it offered. Next in line was the green zone, followed by the transit zone encompassing the residence and the connecting pathways. Lastly, the infrastructure zone, situated at the same level as the highway, completed the division.
The residence itself takes the form of a cuboid structure, partially nestled within the green zone. Its design adheres to simplicity, with all the rooms positioned along the front façade, providing direct access to the front yard. The main entrance and indoor parking lot are located at the rear of the building, accessed via the main road of the plot. The largest room within the residence is the living room, which also incorporates the kitchen, while the second largest is the master bedroom. Additionally, there are three bedrooms of equal size, a bathroom, and a separate WC. The front yard features two levels, with the second level accommodating an outdoor swimming pool.
A defining feature of the building is its sloping green roof, seamlessly blending with the adjacent green zone. The roof is intentionally designed with an opposite tilting angle to that of the site, creating an elevated point that offers enhanced views of the sea. When viewed from above, the residence remains discreetly hidden, with only the pathways visible, while from the front, each function of the residence is clearly distinguishable. In terms of materials, concrete and rocks were predominantly selected for the construction, not only providing a solid aesthetic but also establishing a direct connection with the natural surroundings.
Overall, the design successfully tackles the challenges posed by the sloping plot, incorporating different functions, and maintaining visual harmony with the surroundings.
