Into the Box, a semi-detached home

Into the Box, a semi-detached home
The homeowners and architects explored various screen options. They decided on metal as it requires lower maintenance compared to wood. They chose a darker colour, as the aesthetic effect was better than if a lighter tone had been used.

Full-height sliding glass panels create a seamless transition between the living and dining areas and the surrounding garden, and also promote natural cross-ventilation.
image
The basement houses a state-of-the-art entertainment system, wine cellar and a bomb shelter.
image
A staircase constructed out of folded black sheet metal takes centre stage within the double volume space, and serves as a sculptural expression of vertical circulation.
image
The porosity of the screens can be adjusted, in tandem with the sliding glass panels, to achieve the desired level of privacy, light and ventilation.
image
Carefully placed skylights in the master bathroom and walk-in wardrobe give the spaces a bright and airy feel.
image
Green plants inject an organic touch and facilitate air circulation.
image
The perforated metal screens create an interesting pattern play that varies with the changing light conditions.
