Linear Pool House

A disciplined two-storey concrete volume frames a long rectilinear pool, establishing a strong horizontal dialogue between architecture and water. Continuous glazing at ground level dissolves the façade, allowing living and dining spaces to extend directly onto the terrace. The upper floor is defined by a projecting slab and glazed balustrade, creating shaded outdoor circulation while reinforcing the building’s linear geometry.

This is a conceptual study of climate-responsive residential planning shaped by proportion and outdoor living.
