This architectural design by Aamer masterfully combines functional spatial organization with sculptural artistry.
Inspired by the Iban Longhouse, the elevated elliptical volume acts as a focal point, blending traditional cultural elements with modern interpretation. The use of timber louvres provides both aesthetic appeal and practical protection against the elements. The integration of foldable doors connects private bedrooms to the communal verandah, fostering openness and flexibility. Structural ingenuity is evident in the support system allowing the concrete box to appear as if it is floating, creating a sense of lightness and spaciousness.
Overall, the design balances form, function, and cultural reference to create a dynamic and engaging residence.
