A weightless upper volume above a glass plinth.
The brief asked for 'a private resort that disappears at noon.' The plan stacks six bedrooms and a full wellness suite into a horizontal upper volume that is structurally levitated by a hidden steel transfer slab; the only visible support is a glass-walled circulation core at the centre. A rooftop lounge connects through a continuous outdoor terrace that wraps the building, with solar shading + low-emissivity glazing keeping the interior tempered without any visible architectural device. The basement holds six cars, the services, and a long wellness floor — gym, spa, sauna, steam, jacuzzi — over a sunken pool deck.
