The Triangle Residence

“The  TRIANGLE”, designed to meet the needs of a contemporary family, is a modern and robust architectural design featuring simple geometric volumes that culminate in a minimalistic and highly functional home. This house is designed on a challenging, triangular-shaped, sloping plot of 12 Perches (303sq.m.) land. The existing sloping terrain is meticulously integrated into design by incorporating a central courtyard and a connecting bridge to match the floor levels; resulting in a unique and a site-specific design that harmonizes with its environment. The double-height volume and the Grand spiral staircase serve as the centerpiece of the common areas, enhancing the sense of space and providing a striking architectural feature.

An open-plan layout prevails in all common areas, ensuring spacious, interconnected volumes that enhance both visual and functional flow. The open-plan design allows for flexibility in space utilization, fostering a sense of continuity and openness. Each space is thoughtfully crafted to maximize natural light and ventilation, creating a lively and inviting atmosphere throughout the home.
The house comprises a master suite with an attached bath and private garden, two additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, a family lounge, a living-dining area, a kitchen, and a garage. The master suite is designed as a private retreat featuring a serene private garden space for relaxation.

The living, dining, and family lounge areas are seamlessly connected by a double-height volume and a grand spiral staircase, creating a cohesive and inviting common area. These spaces are further connected, both visually and physically, to the central courtyard and front garden, allowing for seamless
cross-ventilation throughout the house.

A distinctive feature of this house is the bridge connecting the master suite to the rest of the house, imparting unique character and ambience to the central courtyard. This bridge serves as both a functional and aesthetic element, offering a seamless transition between spaces while creating a dramatic visual statement. Additionally, the existing tree, preserved and elegantly integrated into the design of the bridge, adds a touch of natural glamour and a sense of continuity with the landscape.
