The idea for this project was inspired by the previous works of Frank Lloyd Wright's houses. The concept was primarily based on creating a building with a horizontal layout and two floors, constructed with natural materials, featuring a cantilevered roof, and appearing to rise from the ground. Our goal was to integrate nature into the building by placing plants around the perimeter of the ground floor. With the insertion of some panoramic views to take the advantage of the amazing greenery scenes around the location.

Regarding the conception of the floor plan, we observed that Frank Lloyd Wright consistently arranged spaces around the fireplace. Consequently, we integrated a fireplace in the living room and organized the surrounding areas around it. Additionally, we incorporated one of Frank Lloyd Wright's renowned interior design concepts, which involves creating a feeling of relief when entering a space. To achieve this, we designed a narrow corridor with a low roof height that gradually increases in height towards the end, leading to a sense of relief for the user. This corridor leads to the living room.
