Rising From Between Water Sheets: 1001 Nights House
October 23, 2011 5:26 PM
An exclusive residence that offers exceptional displays of shadows, volumes and curves rises dressed in black villar granite stone that plays with colored light at night. 1001 Nights House – a name as powerful as its inspiration and architecture – describes how the concept was transformed into a swanky residential development. The interiors spread over 2,100 square meters. The outside furniture by the pool is part of the Rest collection by A-cero In.
Well-known A-Cero Architects describe their latest project: “ The access, through the development walkway, is placed on a higher level. Here is the property, partially hidden by many curved walls that seem to elevate from some water sheets over a stone covering in white, grey and black shades, placed on purpose as a part of the landscape in this area of the plot. Besides its sculptural features, typical of the A-cero style, this side of the facade expects the integration of the building in the surrounding environment. A wide stone path, with water sheets on both sides, lead us to a huge black glass door that gives us access inside the property. In the garden, following the wishes of the owners, there are palms, pome granate trees and Middle East vegetation. ” The 7,000 square meter property looks more as an artistic contemporary palace/fortress than a house. Still, don’t you wish you could admire the 1001 Nights House each time you come home?
