DESCRIPTION:

The design of a striking monolithic residence is completely isolated from its surroundings, using strong abstract geometry and minimal lines. Being a white monolith from the outside, it effectively isolates from the noise coming from the railroad and benefits from privacy against the significantly higher surrounding residential buildings. The houses enclosed in its white shell with scattered openings on it and receive daylight through them and interior courtyards. White walls maintain the same minimal approach for the interiors, inspired by traditional Japanese architecture that admires the idea of a home space with an order, calm, and beauty.
