The Stone House - Sections and Plans

The house is arranged around a narrow courtyard that extends into even narrower slits and fissures as it weaves its way through the house, essentially drawing on the proportions of voids and interstitial spaces of traditional dwellings as a method to counter the effect of the harsh summer sun.

Every building element from the basement raft/retaining walls/lintels/door and window stairs/screens etc has been made from stone blocks, either from the quarry or excavated from the site.

Large front and rear-facing glazing are shaded by deep overhangs and operable, hand-cut stone screens to modulate light, privacy, and views.
