The Design

The Origami House is a three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home that features a variety of luxurious features. The house has a spacious open-plan living area with a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The house also has a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, and a full basement for entertainment and study.

The Layout

The layout that was provided by the client was in the shape of two squares, rotated 45 degrees, and overlapped at one corner by a few meters. The plans were modified slightly by STE-AD to make improvements to the geometry and layout. At the center of the overlapped squares is a staircase rising from the basement up to L0 and L1, creating an open atrium at the core of the house.
