Flying House

With this brief in mind, we transformed and extruded the mountainous site to form two wings that will house the their families with a 25M cantilevered infinity pool that will give a ‘flying’ effect.

Concept Diagram

The project is designed as two wings that would house the two families separately with a central spine that got pushed to form the entrace space at the front and the long cantilevered pool that pushes put of the mountain-scape.

Program Evolution

The two wings are supported by branching columns that pierce through the slabs to support the cantilevered portions. The tilted geometry of the houses as well the steel columns give a dynamic and fluid feel to the project.

Floor Plan

The cantilevered pool is one of the most interesting feature since it does not rest on any column to create a floating and flying feel.

The concrete structure was equally interesting since we used the thin blade columns that allowed for structural walls creating the column free living and bedroom spaces with their unique geometries.

The landscape design for the house is kept raw and rugged flowing with the sloping contours and contrasting the smooth monolithic extrusions of the house forms.
