Tranquility of a Waterfront Residence by Robert Gurney Architect

With the concept of rocky house, this house looks like a rock in the jungle. This house has different appearance from the outside. The house looks like a cube. The residence consists of two distinct volumes, connected by a passageway. This house also has two entrances. The color of this house is very natural. It is pure from the materials that are used to make the wall. The windows can be used to see the out side or the view from the second floor of this house. The grasses are let to live around the house that indicates this house is very friendly to the nature. The materials of this house are very good since they are chosen. The exterior material palette is quiet and subdued. Materials are selected for their expected long term durability, ease of installation and initial cost. The impact of the one story horizontal volume facing the street is intended to reflect the scale of neighboring structures while the narrow two story volumes are oriented perpendicular to the street reducing their apparent scale. To live in this house is like to back to the nature.
