The Sayavedra Residence is an ecological and spatial oasis for a family of four. Facing inwards toward a central courtyard, the home is at once open and private, fostering interpersonal connections, as well as those to the outdoors. Carefully placed moments of transparency allow light and breezes to permeate the home, while the robust concrete structure and facade provides not only privacy, but a textural canvas that showcases the changing light conditions. Sweeping concrete curves reinforce the graceful connection between inside and outside, connecting spaces at multiple scales.
