LEFT & FACING PAGE: With a Japanese sense of restraint and
craftsmanship, the design of this residence was conceived
as one concept of tropical minimalism. A secondary design
challenge came f rom the community design guidelines
themselves that did not allow for modern roof forms such
as flat or low-slope roofs. A modernity was developed with
hipped roof pavilions, with flat roofs over in-between spaces
allowing solar panels to be hidden f rom sight.
