This building features an interaction of light and shadow with reflective surfaces such as mirrors and water. Large windows allow ample light inside, but it encounters obstacles that create captivating shadow patterns on the walls and floors throughout the day. At night, moonlight reflects off the mirrored surfaces, adding a mysterious atmosphere. The white décor enhances the soft light, while the evening brings warm red hues from the sunset. Rough textures create additional shadows, highlighting the relief. Metal accents on slopes and ceilings reflect light, diffusing it softly. A central pool reflects sunlight into all parts of the house, casting dynamic reflections that change with the weather and enhancing the space's unique beauty and atmosphere.
The core concept of this residential project is the thoughtful integration of the ageing population back into society, addressing feelings of isolation and providing purpose. Designed with three distinct housing types that can be configured into cohesive arrangements, the community promotes interaction and engagement among residents. A unifying terrace space links the homes, offering benches, hammocks, and tables for games, creating a central area for relaxation and social activities. Residents can easily retreat to the privacy of their own homes when desired.
