Contemporary House with a Simple Layout | Avasiti Design The house is envisioned as a single-unit, set in a 18,000 sq.ft plot, with a large front yard and garden area. The openness of the front garden balances the built-mass and allows for extended gatherings and family events. At first glance, two massive cubes, in brick and exposed concrete catch the eye, while a large overhanging plane completes the frame of this contemporary house. The space framed by the large exposed brick columns creates a front deck-like area, where the family spends time on pleasant mornings and evenings. Natural stone flooring gives one an earthy feeling, seamlessly transitioning between outside to inside.
