Details
The house is on a hill faces the sea. Our challenge is to provide a man-made space yet infiltrating with this beautiful nature. Echoing with the flow of waves, different spaces are carved out in the house, like a monolith being washed out by tides. Cavities hollowed out from all sides and levels; then nature filled in. Living here as if wandering and making discoveries in a cave. Flow path in this geometric cave varies, depends on climate, season and even mood. The hollowed-out Cavities form courtyards. It externalizes the interiority and internalizes the exteriority through layers of Cavities, maintaining privacy yet opening up moderately.
