The Steric Spes

The Steric Spes is designed to balance seclusion and natural light, with a nuanced facade featuring cream-colored fiber-cement breeze-blocks that filter harsh sunlight and facilitate airflow. This permeable facade creates a private space that is set back from the surrounding urban context, achieving a sense of retreat and calmness. The house's design emphasizes material continuity and tectonic coherence, with a dynamic composition that enhances interplay while maintaining formal cohesion. The result is a house that breathes, maintaining thermal comfort and luminosity with an ever-changing shadowplay throughout the day. The house's layered openness and seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces create a sense of warmth and cohesion throughout the living areas.
