House T

The existing on-site structure was reclaimed and altered to allow an open-plan for more living spaces. In a sustainable way, we re-create a new spatial experience that flows “through” the building.

The north façade is reconfigured with two volumes interlocking together: a thickened white T-shape cast-in-concrete wall sitting on a dark layered rock plinth. Local craftsmanship was adapted to realize the façade.

The House T is intended to create a series of dynamic spaces that defined by the spectrum of natural environment and communal life which characterizes the wonderful setting of the site.
