The house features an infinity edge pool at the middle level as the clients favorite space of the house. Although located at the very edge of the massing of the house, the pool functions as central space that spills it presence to different levels of the house. The house is finished in natural hues and textures of local stone, teak wood, natural stone finishes and accents of distressed metal.

The objective was to design the house to be tap to this natural ambiance as experience in viewing the house and entering the spaces.
