FD House

The FD House, set below street level, features a distinctive design that subtly reveals both a half level and an upper block. Its L-shaped layout and metal structure create expansive, fluid spaces, both inside and out.

The façade combines wooden and concrete slats in dark tones, harmonizing with the surrounding landscape while adding lightness to the overall design. Horizontal eaves, slits, and pergolas create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the building’s form.

Inside, the home’s spacious social area with high ceilings fosters fluid connections between spaces. Light tones throughout the interior promote openness, creating a balanced contrast with the darker exterior. A cozy outdoor living area with a lower ceiling invites relaxation, while large glazed openings seamlessly connect the interior with the panoramic outdoor view, featuring a pool and fire pit. Despite its darker façade, the house blends subtly with its surroundings, engaging in a thoughtful dialogue with the landscape and natural light.
