Architecture Design of Victoria Residence

Description About The Project

Victoria Residence designed by Nico van der Meulen Architects, stretches the width of the constrained site to maximize on becoming a receptacle for the views and expanse of nature to the North. The house conceived and developed as a monolithic stone remnant, which sliced and excavated to reveal a softer and comforting interior. Also, the exterior rugged and purposefully reduced to two or three materials. In doing so, the transition to the interior enhances the crossover experience.

The Victoria Residence divided into three levels, the Basement level contains the entertainment zones with the Home Cinema and Playroom. Whilst, the Ground Level serves the daily routines of the family. It houses a large open plan living and dining room, and a lower indoor pool, intertwining with the double volume space. Indeed, with three different levels visible on the ground floor upon entry to the home, the daily functions and zones within the home defined and organized, with circulation on the entry-level, open plan living, dining and kitchen areas on the mid-level, and the indoor swimming pool, guest suite, lanai and home office on the lower level.

On the other hand, the first-floor level delineates the spaces of reclination, with three suites, the main suite with two independent dressing rooms and a seamless en-suite bathroom situated on the Eastern wing. Also,it contained within a concrete frame seen from the Northern façade. The two kids suites, with lounge and en-suite bathrooms, situated towards the West and contained in the second concrete frame. The upper level also offers a home gymnasium, a sewing room and a relaxing pyjama lounge floating over the family room below.
