Straight and solid walls

Located on an L-shaped site, the design of NS villa was informed by several factors: the orientation of the sun, the programme required by the client, and the client’s admiration for Luis Barragan’s work – an architect who we also admire.

Spatial fluidity

The design developed into a series of walls running north to south across the site. Within these walls, functions are located on split-levels facilitating interaction between the spaces that include courtyards and planted terraces.

Solar protection and natural light

Windows within these walls are carefully located and treated to deal with the harsh east and west sunlight. North and south elevations, sandwiched between the walls, are fully glazed and open up to the gardens that surround the house.
