the destiny lotus
the destiny lotus is a house where personality springs from the play of levels and volumes.
The foyer soars to a double volume height which gives a great sensation of spaciousness to the first approaching space. On the other hand, the sunken living room implies another spatial differentiation. It is interconnected to the dining area which is raised at mezzanine level, serving as a junction that sparks spontaneous encounters.
The succession of strategically placed steps and differences in heights established the idea of 'progression of friendship'.
