Description:	A home that is an immersive experience—a sanctuary where every element speaks to its surroundings while responding to the body's natural movement. Upon entering, the first sensory experience is the tropical fern garden with a tranquil Koi pond. This entry sets the tone for the the home, giving the sensation of stepping into an oasis, where the boundary between indoor and outdoor begins to fade. The use of cement oxide was a deliberate choice to regulate the ambient temperature within. This, combined with the use of ferro-cement cast in-situ furniture allowed for a fluid interaction between the space and the inhabitants, like how the elliptical dining table naturally guides the body's movement towards the balcony. The staircase is the home's focal point, the red intentionally contrasting against the greenery that surrounds, much like the forbidden apple in the Garden of Eden. The staircase, seemingly suspended in mid-air, crafted using bend metal sheets into a thin, floating structure that adds a sense of mystery and wonder, as though stepping into the unknown. The double-height amplifies the scale, but ensuring visual connectedness throughout the home, making the vastness of the volumes feel intimate, framing views and unifying the experience.
