Z-House is a single-family residence designed for a family of four, situated on a site with minimal urban references and pronounced topographical variation. The house is conceived as a linear composition along a north–south axis, raised slightly above the street and set back to create a quiet threshold between public and private space.
The spatial organization is articulated in two longitudinal zones: a wider strip housing the living areas (living room, dining, kitchen) and a narrower one accommodating secondary functions, a study, and vertical circulation. The main entrance is positioned to the southwest, approached through a sequence of exposed concrete walls that frame the movement and define the architectural language of arrival.
The upper floor follows the same axis and hosts the private quarters. A horizontal board-formed concrete slab is inserted between the two levels, acting as both a structural and compositional gesture. Extending outward to form a covered veranda supported by cylindrical columns, it lends the house a sense of suspension and spatial rhythm.
The material palette is restrained: rough white render, board-formed concrete, and textured hardscape surfaces. The surrounding landscape flows uninterrupted around the house, integrating it into the adjacent public green zone and reinforcing the connection between architecture and terrain.
