Canopy Frame House

This conceptual residential study is structured as a two-level pavilion defined by a strong horizontal roof frame and recessed living volumes. Full-height glazing establishes clear visual continuity between interior spaces and surrounding planting, while deep overhangs regulate light and rainfall. The plan prioritises cross-ventilation and shaded outdoor thresholds, allowing the house to operate comfortably within a dense tropical setting. Architecture is expressed through proportion, restraint, and climatic logic rather than excess.
