Right after choosing their lot, the family approached Unbox architecture with a clear vision – a practical and cozy home that includes three-bedroom suites for the family, a nice yard and most importantly – lots of privacy.

The family’s request for privacy in these urban surroundings – full of private houses and apartment buildings – challenged the architects and acted as their primary focus in planning and designing the house. The lot is 40′ x 60′ = 2400 sq.ft, with a South facade.

The architects wished to eliminate the environmental “noises” and create an urban villa with maximal privacy.

Therefore we designed a compact layout and a modern style, keeping the three facades relatively sealed and using Porotherm Blocks for natural light and ventilation on the first floor.
