I will readily admit that I do very much enjoy a good dose of theatricality in buildings. And this one has it in spaces!
Starting on the outside…
… with its bamboo laced walls allowing for dramatic shadow play both day and night…
… to the glowing entryway and it’s geometrically delightful reflecting pool and garden…
… to the reflecting pool that, once inside, becomes an actual pool for swimming…
… to the delightfully dramatic rock garden centerpiece, with walkways made of stone slabs that tantalizingly hover…
… to more hovering elements in the more domestic areas…
… to the soaring living area…
… and culminating in the oppositely introverted and quiet (yet still so elegant) tea room.
Wow.
