Light Cave House

About the project

We call this house the “cave of light”. The whole front is a wall of white breeze blocks that keeps out the sun and the eyes of the street, while light and wind still pass through. The middle of the house opens into a planted court, so light from above falls all the way down to the rooms.

Inside we used wood and white, arched windows, glass-block walls and timber battens. The living and dining rooms face each other, and you can see trees from almost every corner.
