RESIDENTIAL EXTERIOR

AE7’s District One contemporary mansion also won this category. The exterior of the villa uses straight and rectangular masses with a combination of solid and glass planes to achieve a simple style that governs its final formation. The designers went through a long process to provide connectivity and integrity between the exterior façade and interior features within the given plot size. The resulting expansive glass areas connect te external and internal spaces and generate a feeling of infinite sight. The judges were struck by its general balance, use of light and shadow and relationship between solids and voids. They thought it was dynamic and well-articulated.
