‘Enveloped in Flight…’
AIO’s design is inspired to capture the breath taking experience when we first stood on the site. The experience of flying on the air with a bird’s eye view looking over the panoramic view of majestic mountains, surrounded by nature, with its lush forest and o-zone air quality.
Each material is naturally chosen for its characteristic to serve the function and design intent. The stone like base creates the solidarity of the structure and serves to hide away the back of house functions and prevents penetration of the water from the hills. The glass allows unobstructed views for the interior and makes the illusion of the lightness of the wood mass above. Wood is chosen for cosiness of the private dwellings and for acoustic comfort.
On entering the residence, the architecture is initially hidden from view. The man made forest allows the experience of entering a natural park. The main house envelopes the existing trees that was there since the beginning. One particular stunning Raintree marks the main entrance.
We created a main staircase surrounded by water to enhance the theatrical effect as one is led mysteriously into the open air, double space lobby and is suddenly welcomed by the view of mountains, capturing the first experience as we had, for each guest that enters this place.
