A sheltered colonnade and a winding back alley form the primary approaches to this house. As visitors ascend the sloped site, they are met with a semi-public garden where the subtle shift of the equatorial sun are drawn out, inviting you in.

The private residence is demarcated by a rough concrete dividing wall, with occupants moving along it to access living space, a bedroom on the highest floor, and a cavernous bathroom below grade.
