The design of a double support A frame structure was developed through the client’s specifications of a pilotis villa. The aim was to generate a structure that would appear as if it's held on one edge which would give an impression of a villa floating above the terrain.
This project is a 3-bedroom 180sqm villa that is prefabricated and use sustainable material for construction, and it is a flexible design that can fit on any site on the proposal.
Materials- Roof steel roof deck
- Exterior walls are made of straw-bales
- Interior partitions are made of metal stud
- Floor is a wooden deck
- Retaining wall is a gabion wall that utilizes site stones
This project is a poetic and bold architectural gesture that beautifully balances structural innovation with contextual sensitivity. The decision to develop a double support A-frame villa, appearing as though delicately hovering above the landscape, results in a striking visual identity that evokes both lightness and elegance. The interplay of angular geometry and openness reflects a refined understanding of form, gravity and space.
What elevates this work further is the thoughtful commitment to sustainability and prefabrication. The use of straw-bale insulation, gabion retaining walls with site-sourced stone and timber decking demonstrates an eco-conscious material strategy grounded in both environmental and aesthetic sensibility. Structurally, the pilotis concept is reinterpreted with a contemporary attitude, allowing the villa to rest lightly on the land and reducing site impact. This is a well resolved, flexible prototype that merges bold architectural language with low impact construction an inspiring proposal that challenges conventional notions of dwelling with simplicity and strength.
