Stacked Veranda House

Dec 14, 2025

∙ Paid

This conceptual residential study explores a two-storey container-based arrangement organised around shaded outdoor rooms. The upper level is set back to form a covered veranda below, creating layered thresholds that regulate light, ventilation, and privacy. Extensive glazing and timber-lined interiors soften the industrial logic of the structure while maintaining clarity of construction. The composition balances compact density with openness, suited to tropical suburban conditions.
