Chris Briffa Architects: This fully introverted house is unique by Valletta standards – an attribute that well suited the client’s need for privacy. Confessing that he owned a weekend house in London, designed by the world-famous minimalist, John Pawson, the client complained that it was too much of a white sculpture, so this Valletta house needed to provide what his Pawson house could not – a congenial living space for artworks of all sorts – paintings, sculptures, eclectic furniture and large objects, with a Valletta church dome framed atop of the house.
