A weekend home on the edge of a dry riverbed that is meant for relaxation and rejuvenation for the family. To relax here, is to be with nature and this is the point that is guiding whole building. A house with the nature, made from the nature and for those who love nature!
The entrance view of building has solid two story random rubble stone wall which anchors the building with earth. One enters in site in narrow front yard, walks across the landscape design on one side of building and slowly climbs to entrance foyer. When the main door is opened, one gets full view of riverbed and garden across the ground floor space.
The ground floor is conceived as a single large space functioning as living, dinning, kitchen and bedroom space; without any partitions in-between. Whole ground floor opens up towards river bed side by full height bi-fold glass shutters. The upper floor which is accessed through an outdoor spiral stair has one bedroom space and two levels of terraces.
