Innovative House Design with Artful Combination of Solid Facades and Glass
Straying from convention, this home opts for a staggered floor plan as opposed to traditional, horizontally layered layouts. The exterior is an artful combination of solid facades and glass, offering peeks at life inside this modernist structure. According to the architect, “The resultant massing reveals an imperfect, rough-hewn form recalling the natural isometric formation of mineral rock salt.” Minimalist interiors really let the home’s unusual shape do all the talking, putting the spotlight on its plan that includes soaring two-storey living spaces, lined with overhead hallways and lofts, and glass-enclosed staircases zigzagging their way up and making a cool, clean addition to the home’s modern aesthetic. This innovative house falls in line with this multi-award-winning firm’s forward-thinking architecture, which breaks convention and tends to march to its own drum, so to speak, such as the similarly styled inner courtyard house and the meditation house, among others.
