We were given the task of developing a sort of case study modern minimal home in the Murud region amidst a coconut grove. Approached by a friend who represents a minimal-window producer from Portugal, called PANORAMAH. The designers of this modern minimal home intended the super high-tech, modern windows to disappear into the verdant view.
Editor’s Note: In the heart of a coconut grove, a home emerges, blending the ancient with the avant-garde. Massive stone slabs, timeless as the earth, cradle sleek windows that vanish into the verdant landscape. By day, the stone commands; by night, the glass transforms, revealing a delicate dance of light and shadow—a testament to enduring elegance. – Shagun Shah
The Plan Of This Modern Minimal Home Traces The Parikrama Path | SPASM Design Architects
The plan evolved like a two-headed worm, with the sleeping spaces in series and the higher main living and dining spaces flanking opposite ends of the series. Therefore, the idea being the tracing of a PARIKRAMA, a circumambulatory path, while moving from spaces, always in contact with the outside.
The entire construction was planned in TILT-UP STONE slabs, hence allowing the minimal windows into cavity walls, granite 40 millimeters. Thick was the material of choice.
STONE has a sense of time built into it, like the GRANDFATHER of building materials. It is also a highly sustainable material to build with due to the least number of processes on it, from quarry to site.
Conceived as a supermodern yet ancient vessel, this construct is a simple assemblage of giant panels of glass against huge stone slabs.
A Primitive sense of dwelling pervades, as the day turns into a starry night sky and the light pours out of the glass making the stone invisible, A REVERSAL of what one perceives in the day…. Once all else decays the Stones will still stand…..
