House Develter Curacao Cas abou
LocationThe house is located in an area of low density with large green spaces and an breathtaking view of 270° on the caribbean sea in Cas Abou, Curacao.
The main route of access, is through the wild nature of Cas abou.
ConceptThis house reflects the commitment to the creation of innovative space that asserts clarity, simplicity and elegance.The house signature is marked by a poetic arrangement of clear geometric forms, the subtle use of natural light, the relation open-closed and outside-inside and the subtle fusion of western and eastern architectural traditions.
The minimalism volume of the housing is implanted in de steep rock reducing it to a white volume coming out of the the mountain landscape.
Two themes stand out in the work: the air-light and the relationship with nature. This is evident in the treatment of outdoor spaces. The presence of white to nature for color contrast.
The house is full of light and shadow well agreed and luminous.
In plan, due to the steep terrain the house is divided in three levels, first-level; entrance and garage, second level; the guest-rooms and gym, third level contains the private living-area, master bedroom with wic and bathroom, open kitchen and study-room. All level are connected with an outside stairs. The third-level; living area, master bedroom, study and kitchen.
The highest floor- plan has a succession of three key areas: an open patio on the backside, a covered seating area, and a front-yard with porch and pool.
An open floor-plan out and inside connected to let the wind play through the living area, necessary in the climate of the tropic
