From an architectural perspective, this residence exemplifies Hothico Architects’ approach to blending form, function, and materiality. The facade showcases a deliberate use of textures and volumes, incorporating a mix of stone cladding, wooden paneling, and clean white surfaces. These materials are harmoniously balanced to give depth and rhythm to the elevation while enhancing visual interest. The linear grooves on the central wall and vertical wooden fins create a cohesive design language that accentuates verticality, adding height to the structure.

The spatial layout indicates an efficient use of massing, with carefully projected balconies and a cantilevered roof that not only provide shade but also contribute to the dynamic geometry. Structural elements such as columns are treated as aesthetic features rather than hidden supports, with integrated lighting enhancing the facade during evening hours. The combination of natural tones and modern finishes reflects a contemporary architectural narrative that aligns with Hothico Architects’ commitment to elegant, livable spaces.
