秘境别墅 · 天地之间的冥想空间丨菲律宾丨caza architects

Architect：caza architects

Location：Santa Rosa, Laguna, Philippines; | ;

Project Year：2016

Category：Apartments

A secluded retreat home outside of Metro Manila, the House is a meditation on two modes of seeing: telescopic, up to the heavens, and terrascopic, out to the earth. Visitors are presented with two tall and heavy structures, clad in natural stone, registering a new techno-tribalism image. The social spaces are organized around a low-slung pentagon with a courtyard in the middle.

The bedrooms pivot around a drum-shaped family room, located beneath the courtyard, that serves as a cooling chamber. Each bedroom has enclosed patios with moon-shaped oculi, which offer a distinct view of the sky, while also serving as venting chimneys.

The House sets up a counterpoint to its surrounding lush, tropical landscape through a constellation of carefully manicured gardens. This juxtaposition encapsulates the home& s dualities: to be both present and detached from the shifting geographies of our planet.
