San Anselmo 439

A residential project defined by horizontal composition, layered depth, and material contrast.

The house is organized across two levels, with shared spaces positioned on the ground floor and private areas above. Double-height spaces introduce vertical continuity, allowing light to penetrate deep into the interior while maintaining a controlled relationship with the exterior.

The facade is structured through horizontal planes and framed voids, generating depth and shadow rather than surface expression. A primary frame articulates the upper level, integrating vertical sunshades that regulate light and privacy.

Material selection is restrained and deliberate. Volcanic stone anchors the composition, contrasted with lighter wooden elements and black steel details. The interplay of these materials establishes a balance between weight and lightness, solidity and openness.

San Anselmo 439 is approached as a study in spatial layering—where structure, material, and proportion operate with clarity and control.
