DESIGN NAME: The Terrarium Place
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential Villa
INSPIRATION: The inspiration for this unique villa came from rock formations in the local landscape, where nature’s geometry never ceases to amaze. The idea was to break down the traditional building mass and create a design that is integrated with its environs, by emulating natural shapes.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: At the center of the Terrarium Place, lies a beautifully landscaped open-air courtyard. Every room in the house is situated around it and thus has endless flow of light, natural air and greenery. With only three main colors carrying through the entire space, concrete, light bronze and green, the sense of harmony and indoor-outdoor balance is further established with a natural stone wall, extended from the exterior to the interior.
