RAIN CURTAIN HOUSE

As the name implies, this house is a celebration of a particular climate: the glorious deluge of rainfall that one of the cleanest places on the planet can be subject.

As the courtyard becomes the catalyst for the overall design, it is also a place in which the residents can find solace, and a space where the outside and the inside co-exist in harmony. Designed to edit out the view of immediate neighbouring houses, this space engenders a monastic feel to the home.
