LAYOUT1

This twin house showcases a bold geometric form that clearly distinguishes the two parts of a twin house while maintaining harmony with the surrounding landscape. The design uses contrasting natural materials - metal and wood cladding - to define and separate each unit visually. These materials complement one another, enhancing the home’s modern yet grounded aesthetic.

Side-facing balconies have been strategically integrated to offer each homeowner private outdoor space, ensuring both individuality and comfort. The overall layout balances visual impact with sensitivity to the site, blending bold architectural expression with livable, functional design.
