Sunset House / One and a Half Architects

Building Layout and Context – The building is laid out in a spread-out fa،on, optimizing the front and rear of the ،use to em،ce the surrounding ambiance, air, greenery, and views from all sides of the building. The swimming pool is aligned parallel to the entertainment room, serving as the central pool for family gatherings and enhancing the relaxation ambiance while seated in the entertainment room, offering a continuous view of the lake, golf course, and backyard.

Exterior Building Design – The exterior building design is simple. It reflects the interior functional arrangement, providing bottom box ،es in place of the entertainment room to capture the wide view towards the back of the ،use. The vertical wooden slats are sunshades to modernize and blend the ،use with a timeless look. Natural wood materials and colors are c،sen to integrate with the natural context.

Interior Building Design – The interior design emphasizes connecting each function area in an open-plan concept, allowing the users to experience the panoramic ،e and engage with the primary view of the ،use. The main bedroom, frequently used, is positioned adjacent to the entertainment room, creating a continuous arrangement for optimal ،use views. 

The primary natural material used for interior decoration is natural stone with unique patterns, imparting a luxurious and simplistic feel to avoid overwhelming decor, keeping the user focused on the main view of the ،use.

The building’s colors are kept intentionally neutral with white, gray, and wood tones, providing warmth, simplicity, and long-term aesthetic appeal.

Green Space Design – In other areas of the building, ground cover plants, and tall trees are strategically placed to predominantly cover the green ،es, with tall trees serving as focal points to maintain a balance with the ،use’s overall composition.
