This project focuses on the facade, a key element that not only defines the building's aesthetic but also plays a crucial role in regulating sunlight and indoor temperature. Its innovative design acts as a filter, allowing natural light to enter while protecting the interior space from direct sunlight.

Old houses offer an abundance of character, with their quirky corners, rambling layouts, and stone walls that echo stories from a bygone era. The thick limestone walls, vibrant cement tiles, and winding stone staircases carry a sense of history, promising a feeling of "home" even before one sets foot inside.

The brief chronicled a day at the crib: a morning coffee, lots of reading in the sun and then dinner at sunset, perhaps with fish caught that day. Their space needed to encourage visitors: couches and window seats that double as beds, and acoustics that will stand up to the grandkids’ sleeping schedules.
