LIGHT AND PRIVACY
Serenity meets space and sunlight in a two-storey downtown wooden sanctuary created for a couple with minimalist tastes. The neighbouring houses are very close, so privacy was paramount, and the facade has no windows facing the street, but light pours in through an ingeniously placed courtyard and clerestory windows. By sculpting the entire abode as a reflector, the architects curated a world where serenity meets spacious luminosity.
