. The C shape of the building played a major role in the site circulation paths between main, sub and service routes starting with the entrances, as we placed the guest entrance to the northern side and left the family at the western to maintain privacy for both sides.
The unique C shape of the building and the double height oak pivot gates intensified the grandeur perception for the place to set it apart from its neighbors.
At the ground floor we have the guest wing starting north then the shared entertainment and services area in between before the family entrance to the west, moving to the first floor were 4-bedroom suites are located along with a kitchenette and small living-dining area separating the kids from the master wing.
Last but not least we left the roof for all extra space needed for help and services like laundry and storage room. With a separated entrance that goes throughout the entire building from the ground to the roof to maintain privacy and clear pathway.
The guest wing was made to be independent from the rest of the house to achieve maximum privacy with its own private view and easy movement flow to provide access to shared amenities.
