The house is situated 150 meters from the white sand beaches tucked away behind lush greenery.

It sits idly, few meters up from the ground, keeping it safe from natural and unwanted elements.

One can contemplate, admiring the seamless fluidity between interior and exterior.

Simple shapes and natural materials creates a calm, meditative environment.

CONSTRUCTION

We encourage local artisans to build with their adherent skill-set, with minimized complication and optimized design.

The building unit could be constructed in a typical wooden house construction.
