IDA Design Awards 2024 (Honorable Mention), Homes & Low-rise Residential Spaces) – The Blueman House

In a departure from the norm, this house reimagines the concept of a traditional semi-detached house. The design prioritises openness and a seamless connection with the surrounding landscape. Eschewing a conventional front boundary wall, a more open approach is featured with landscaping fostering a sense of openness and breathability.

The exterior design features stacked volumes subtly shifted to create a dynamic composition. Expansive glass panels create an effect of a floating mass, emphasizing the interplay of light and openness. The contrasting materials used on the exterior echo the interior palette, tying the design together.

A defining feature is a long pool that stretches gracefully alongside the house. This element acts as a visual divider, separating the property from the neighbour’s while simultaneously creating a tranquil focal point. The design achieves a seamless connection with nature.
