Villa Guango |
||
This Villa, with a material palette of glass, stone and timber, uses the juxtaposition of forms and the contrasting material elements to reflect the natural quality of the environment in context, The upper-deck, made of concrete, breaks away from the material palette as it purosefully emboldens itself as a cantilevered wing off the main stone base of the Villa. The timber cladding is of a sand-dashed finish, mimicking the traditional Jamaican house of the 19th Century. The multitiered nature of this Villa allows it to be used on a variety of locations within the Turtle Crawl Hill site, as the base may be extended or contracted in height to facillitate a relatively flat site or steep site |

Villa Sweetwood |
||
This Villa is designed for sites with steep to severe slopes, it is conceptually ment to be an impostion on the site, much like a tee emerging from the forest floor. Following this concept, the Villa reflects the vertical nature of the trees in context as they climb upwards in the search for light in a densely forested landscape. Skylights at key locations on the roof allow light from above to filter all the way through to the lowerst floor. The form of the Villa represents a " nine- square" box of which planes have been subtraced to create a intermingling of space. The solidity of this form has been fragmented by the horizontal and vertical sun screens on its perimeter. The entire Villa floats above its stone base throught a series of flying buttresses, which connect to timber clad vertical stms, mimicking the trunks and branches of the trees in context. |
