This three-bedroom house for a musician-composer holds a 150-square metre loft space. The 2nd floor overlooks its lush surrounding green rice paddies and coconut trees. The minimal shell of the house amplifies the panoramic experience of its surrounding landscape.

House O Articulates A Multi-Planar Space into An Overarching Architectural Gesture

The design emerged from a desire to translate the construct of a single sound wave into an overarching architectural gesture that will define the house’s interior and exterior spatial qualities.

An iterative process of manipulating the curve of single a line, both in plan and elevation, begins to articulate a multi-planar space in which the ground plane and roofscape are directly intertwined.

 ‘As feeling like being inside an instrument’ most inside surfaces are rendered as wood patterned surfaces. The ceiling drops down in an equal manner to improve acoustics and indicate the entrance as a gesture. This element adds to the sculpted interior experience of the space that is free of structural excess.

Throughout several months of the year, House O operates as an ‘Artist-in-residence’ initiative, hosting selected artists from across the world for short periods of artistic retreat.
