Raised to a considerable height on its supporting structure, JY house cantilevers out in all directions, giving inhabitants the sensation of floating above the ground. As you enter the stairs leading to the main door you are imbued with an ethereal quality, as they merge harmoniously with the surrounding landscape, evoking a profound sense of tranquility and serenity.

What you expect to be “inside” of the house is in fact an open-air patio – bright, white, and ceramic tiled – with a swimming pool at its center. The dimensions of the swimming pool, one-quarter of the patio, set a standard for every four modules that skirt the perimeter of the patio: a dining room, a living room, and bedrooms. In each of these modules, the “indoor” spaces effectively become outdoor terraces – light, airy, and totally at one with the landscape that surrounds them.
