Villa - Old Oaks

View of the interiors of the villa that step down with the existing terrain

The link between the exterior surround and the interiors of the villa is further strengthened through a tactful exploration of material and structure. The ceiling of the dining and living area is slung from a Vierendeel beam hidden in the walls of the floors above, creating a column- free space on the ground floor.

View of the roof covering the courtyard

The staircase roof is glazed while the roof covering the courtyard is part-glass, part-wood and brings in views of the sky and the physical surround. The glass construction and frames are handled with minimum supports.
