Design Development
Balay Luce is a house full of light. Natural elements, an expansive swimming pool and lounge area, and an abundance of natural light inspired its overall design. Carefully designing the architecture and interiors to address the design brief required a layout, certain design solutions, and a choice of material that would allow sunlight to pass into the house from all angles. Creating multiple indoor family spaces that had a good view of the swimming pool and garden were also considered in the overall design.
Strategically placing garden lightwells ensured natural light to filter into the home. The living, kitchen and dining areas offer views of the swimming pool enveloped by glass panels creating a bright, open and spacious atmosphere across all spaces on the ground level.
The living area is complemented with a high ceiling creating a grand and voluminous space. With the use of decorative ventilation blocks and a cool neutral colour palette, the living area becomes breathable too. Fine natural finishes add a touch of luxury and elegance to this new home.
Balay Luce is a modern home with plenty of natural and tropical elements, allowing for it to blend with the lush environment. It includes a basement floor where one can find a gym, a media room, a wine cellar, a mancave, alongside other rooms for house maintenance. The ground floor includes a sizable kitchen and dining room, an office, a living room and an external deck that leads to the swimming pool. The second floor is where one will find all the private bedrooms and a separate living room for the family. The spaces of the house were woven together with the intention to provide seamless circulation and cross ventilation. Balay Luce presents an effortlessly breathable and bright home.
