A private residence in the Modern Line — the high-tech variant, where the bureau's volumetric discipline is expressed through advanced structural systems and maximum transparency. Modern High-Tech Individual House pushes the glass-to-wall ratio to its engineering limit, creating a residence that lives entirely in the landscape around it.
Architecture
The building is composed as a series of cantilevered horizontal planes — roof slabs, floor plates, terrace decks — suspended above a transparent ground level. The structural system is deliberately expressed: slim columns and concrete edge beams are left visible, showing the engineering that makes the transparency possible. The roofline is flat, extended far beyond the wall plane to shade the glazing and shelter the terraces.
Materials are specified for technical expression:
— Exposed reinforced concrete. Edge beams, retaining walls, and stair cores left in fair-faced finish.
— Slim aluminum or composite columns. Linear structural elements painted matte to read as accents.
— Full-height frameless glazing. Floor-to-ceiling panels with minimal mullions, maximizing transparency.
— Composite cladding panels. Flat, precision-cut facade elements on opaque volumes.
BIO-CIRCUIT Systems
— Full BIO-CIRCUIT Architecture specification: tunable circadian lighting, medical-grade air handling, multi-stage water filtration, acoustic-rated sleeping rooms.
— High-performance thermal envelope behind the glazing: triple-glazed units with low-E coatings and thermally broken frames maintaining interior comfort without compromising the transparent aesthetic.
— Underfloor radiant heating powered by ground-source heat pump, eliminating visible radiators and maintaining spatial purity.
Landscape
Terraces, pools, and paved zones extend the architectural planes into the site. Planting is minimal and geometric — clipped hedges, ornamental grasses, specimen trees — framing views rather than competing with the architecture.
