House P

The project aims to accommodate a collection of artworks within a single continuous floor plan, while also supporting graceful aging in place for the clients. Despite a strong preference against open plans, the design integrates living and display spaces through a series of rooms defined by incomplete geometric figures, allowing for spatial separation while maintaining visual and spatial continuity.

The challenging site—characterized by shallow buildable constraints and steep slopes—necessitated a careful resolution of the figure-ground relationship through a spatial tension between containment and overlap. The primary floor plan geometry is derived from arcs anchored along setback lines, organizing rooms into relational coordinate zones. This system mediates between the curvature of the perimeter and the rectilinear nature of interior spaces through geometric references drawn from adjacent architectural elements.

Completed at Ply Plus, with Annabelle Guan and Jess Yu as part of the project team, contributing to the architectural design and spacing planning.
