The House that Breaks the Rules

This distinctive residence, often described as "the house that breaks the rules," is characterized by its bold departure from traditional neighborhood aesthetics.

Its white facades provide privacy by closing off street views, while the design strategically opens up to a dense forest reserve behind the house.

This orientation not only ensures privacy but also enhances the connection with nature, allowing ample natural light and ventilation to permeate the interior.

The house's internal design promotes cross-ventilation, with interior staircases serving as channels for air flow. Large windows facing the forest let in gentle, indirect sunlight, creating a tranquil and naturally lit living space. This thoughtful approach addresses the tropical climate, ensuring both comfort and a seamless integration with the outdoor environment.
