Tucked away in Los Altos Hills, the aptly named Round House is a geometrically unique structure; one of a few similarly shaped homes built in California in the 60s. The clients fell in love with this quirky circular house and initially planned a modest remodel.

Characteristics
AION LAMP: The two floor lamp models in the Folds collection seek to convey the notions of Aion and Kairos in order to express the time of God, which is experienced even if it is not tangible. In the first, Aion, which refers to cycles, the constant is harmony, translated into a column that terminates internally in arches, with an upper part that slightly extends beyond the structure. Kairos, interpreted as the precise instant in which events happen, continues with the vertical arrangement on a smooth cylindrical pillar with three lateral apertures emphasizing the circular shape, in an allusion to infinity. When it is switched on, the interaction with the user is an expression of perfect instants and decisive moments. CRONOS BENCH:The concept of beginning and end is translated into the outline of the Cronos bench, emphasized in its design of straight, simple lines. Supported on twelve feet, the piece expresses a model of order, perfection and symmetry. Seen from above, a horizontal line suggests the linear time of chronology.

The name of this villa means “Nature” and the reason for choosing this name is that it has tried to use natural materials such as stone, brick, wood, etc. in all parts of the project. Also, I decided to bring nature into the building by utilizing natural elements such as trees, shrubs and green walls. The use of stone and green walls doubles the se...
