Functionally, to maximize usable area and to incorporate greenery. Aesthetically, to use travertine copiously as an architectural finish. Inspired by the Italian urban-scape during his travels, so too would travertine express this house.</i></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>The house is organised as two parallel blocks connected by a glass enclosed bridge. The separation between the two blocks allows daylight to stream down to basement spaces. Thick travertine walls and large overhangs are placed on the western side to limit heat gain from the harsh afternoon sun. The entry, living spaces and bedrooms are arranged longitudinally to take advantage of natural cross ventilation and daylight. In order to intensify land use without ending up with an imposing structure, the four storied house has one level sunk into the ground and the other three set away from the access road.</i></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>To accommodate as much green and ‘blue’ space as possible, the gardens and water bodies are spread throughout the house. The living and dining areas on the ground floor face a swimming pool and a fish pond. The basement’s entertainment and guest rooms are open to the sky, with natural light and ventilation coming through a sunken moss garden courtyard. The third storey flat roof is both a recreational deck and a roof garden.</i></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>The arrival experience is orchestrated by several layers of travertine wall that suggest a tenuous threshold between the outside and the inside. The detailing is deliberately minimal and precise to enhance the simplicity of the massing and the juxtaposition of solidity and transparency. The narrow blocks that house the living area, the thick stone cladding, multiple levels of gardens and water bodies ensure that the house remains cool in the tropical environment, well ventilated and washed in soft daylight.</i></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>The three dimensional composition of voids, layers and solids creates spaces for both quiet reflection and family interaction, something for each mood and moment.”</i></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Photos by: Jeremy San </i></span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

There is also interior steel and engineered lumber wall framing.  The modern geometric exterior is achieved by zinc panels and cedar wood wall cladding and detailing.</div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Mechanical</span></span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">The townhouse achieved LEED Silver certification by its use of several “green” technologies including thermal massing radiant floors with central air conditioning.  The use of photovoltaics supplements electric and solar-heated water.  Water is also recycled through a roof water collection system and sprinkler system. Lutron lighting control systems and wiring for motorized window treatments create a comfortable living environment in addition to the alarm system and stereo system incorporated into the project. </div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Windows & Doors</span></span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Natural lighting is also factored into the project as a means of being ecologically responsible. High performance glazing is used with European Lift & Slide door unites and casement windows. Also incorporated into the project are a roof sky window, custom 2” interior doors, and high grade hardware.</div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Millwork & Finishes</span></span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">The interior detailing and crisp joinery gives a clean, modern look using natural finished Sycamore Millwork, European ceramic/porcelain tiles, Caesarstone countertops, and European oak engineered wood flooring.</div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Landscape</span></span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Central to creating a specialty home is the well designed garden and hardscape plan, with custom designed decks, patios, water features, and a fountain.</div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Summary</span></span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">This 5,300 square foot home with a cost of $4 million is a smashing, elegant 21st century building with intelligent and well-conceived design.”</div></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
