Pippins
The design of this project was guided by two principles: a thoughtful response to the environment and a pursuit of elegant simplicity. Nestled on a hillside, we sought to create a home that seamlessly integrated with its surroundings while standing independently as an architectural statement.

The client's desire for unobstructed views and protection from prevailing winds was a pivotal consideration. The initial design concept was proposed as a single-story X-shaped structure, creating outdoor pockets sheltered by the primary building form. This design ensured uninterrupted ocean views through the main pavilion, whilst fostering a constant connection to the outside.

Simplicity was at the forefront of the design of this home. We developed the concept of a "flying roof", comprising two overlapping solid concrete roofs. The result is a home that the clients absolutely love living in, enhancing their quality of life. We are incredibly proud of this project as a practice.
