DESIGN CONCEPT
Borrowing from the typology of the traditional sea side fort, this holiday residence is broken down into its individual component rooms that are arranged as semi-detached rooms within the walled enclosure of the residence. At the center of his arrangement is a long winding courtyard that gradually reveals a hidden pool as one walks from the entrance to the more private parts of the house.
MATERIAL PALETTE
- Boundary wall using locally sourced and shaped coral stone.
- Exposed concrete sloping roofs with woven nipa palm false ceilings below.
- Balconies and roof pergolas using locally harvested iron wood.
