holland road house

The project is a residential house along holland that merges artistry with functionality, presenting an architectural language defined by flowing curves, sharp modern edges, and a harmonious integration of high-quality materials. Designed to evoke a sense of movement and visual intrigue, the house stands as both a dwelling and a work of art, redefining contemporary residential architecture.

The design philosophy emphasizes the interplay of organic and modern forms, where muscular organic columns around the house create a column-free internal space, opening up the living and dining to one large volume. A unique feature of the house is its partially sunken first floor, where the travertine exterior is carved around the living and dining area and water cascades towards the façade, nearly removing the line between the outside and inside while providing additional ceiling height. The asymmetrical arrangement of volumes avoids rigid symmetry, opting instead for an organic, flowing rhythm that feels both dynamic and deliberate.

The exterior of the house is a showcase of dynamic design. The façade integrates the columns, swopping around each floor to create sculptural balconies and planters, separated between layers using curved glass. Additional structure is integrated within the glass mullions, further heightening the effect of the organic form without revealing its support. In the upper floors where the support continues, its exterior is softened by vertical timber elements that add warmth and texture. The extensive use of glass in each bedroom opens the house to its surroundings, leading to a private balcony and creating a sense of weightlessness.

The house celebrates modern craftsmanship and material beauty. By emphasizing sculptural forms, transparency, and the interplay of curved forms separated by glass and wood cladding, all resting on a travertine-look base, the residence creates a timeless architectural statement that is as much an artwork as it is a home.
