BACKGROUND INFORMATION

One of our clients, known for his extensive history as a video gamer, recently approached us with an exciting project. As a team lead at CHii Arkeetects, he has a keen eye for unique and innovative designs. He expressed his desire to have a duplex with a penthouse floor, drawing inspiration from his passion for gaming. The idea was to use the design elements of the PS5 gaming console to inspire and influence the architectural features of his dream home. This fusion of gaming aesthetics and modern architecture promises to create a truly unique and personalized living space.

DESIGN INFO

The proposed design is for a contemporary residential building that will accommodate the following features:

  • Four Bedrooms: Each bedroom is en-suite, ensuring privacy and convenience for all occupants. The design includes a luxurious master bedroom that offers ample space and comfort.

  • Penthouse Floor: The penthouse will feature a spacious balcony, providing panoramic views and an ideal spot for relaxation. Additionally, it will include a bedroom and an office space, perfect for work and leisure.

  • Two Living Rooms: The layout includes an ante-room, which serves as an inviting entrance area, and a main lounge, designed to be the central hub of the home, offering comfort and style.

  • Car Port: To accommodate the client’s vehicles, the design incorporates a carport, offering protection and ease of access.

The architectural approach employs modern contemporary design principles, emphasizing clean lines and innovative use of space. The use of a Western-style hidden roof design enhances the building’s sleek and modern appearance, ensuring that the home is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

MATERIALS

Given the architectural concept’s emphasis on exposed walls, selecting the right materials is crucial to the building’s durability and visual appeal. The primary materials to be used in construction include anti-dampness wall screeding putty and cement. These materials ensure the structure’s longevity and maintain a pristine finish, protecting it from the elements while highlighting its modern design.
