Architecture Design of Mars House

Description About The Project

Mars House, designed by Studio Lau, is a modern retreat crafted in response to changing family needs and the growing desire for peaceful, functional homes. This residence combines striking design with adaptability, featuring interlocking volumes and setback upper floors that create a soft, inviting transition from street level. Clad in black metal with warm wood accents and porcelain detailing, the façade offers a blend of bold modernity and organic warmth.

A unique split-level layout optimizes space by eliminating traditional formal rooms in favor of highly functional, everyday areas. The design incorporates an 18-foot ceiling over the indoor basketball court, adding dynamic openness to the structure. Expansive windows and skylights strategically filter natural light throughout the home, while large sliding doors open the kitchen and dining areas to a spacious deck, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

The interiors balance clean lines and natural tones, infusing contemporary minimalism with warmth and comfort, making Mars House a perfect retreat that harmonizes with both urban and natural settings.
